    Simply go to a website like http://www.newegg.com/ and look for a pentium processor with similar specs. If you provide the details like the socket, wattage, and stuff, I will be able to help you find one thats compatable with your motherboard (assuming it can support a pentium). Download Everest Home from http://www.majorgeeks.com/ to get your CPU specs.

    I took a look at this post because I am in the process of upgrading my processor too.
