It depends on what voltage and socket your motherboard supports, if its an old celeron processor than no.
However a motherboard can be purchased for a cheap price at tigerdirect.com |

It all depends on your voltage.. however that just depends on how much compontents you need to have in your computer... but dont worry normal standard ones are alright..

i agree with last 2 posts. If you have Celeron 1.7GHz and over that then you can upgrade your processor, but i recommend you to buy Pentium 4 Nortwood

I heard that the new AMD Athlon is a lot faster than the new Pentium IV, you might want to check it out...
