For you I would recommend the same family of processor. The athlon x2 6000+ or higher is a great upgrade! Also, get more ram. Look at your motherboard specs, what speed can it handle? Find that speed of ram and slap it in. (since your mobo is kinda old, 4gb is probibly the max, but you didn't give the model number of the board so I can't help that much.)

It has a 4gig limit
