only lists up to that 2.93Ghz dual core the Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 (B2) now having spent a bit of time rehashing such machines some of these older cores can be quite hard to find and expensive at that I recently tried to find Q5500 quad and it was more than a current i7!
Personally that E4700 looks the go for what you want.
Can you load up a few of the machines specs too mate as it would be good to see what you currently have CPU, RAM, and drive wise too.
Plus going to larger and better things you might have to look at testing the PSU to see if it will cope!
But specs first ok?
The BIOS and stuff can be sorted once the hardware is sorted.

I think I'd have to go to eBay to find them at a tolerable price. (Probably removed from equipment, but CPUs don't age in practice.)
Whether it'd be a worthwhile upgrade at the system level for A Celeron D360, I don't know. Adding an SSD would probably make a bigger improvement in the apparent quickness of the PC, but a 120 to 128GB SSD still goes for around $100.

Has Icit2lol rightly pointed out that PSU is very weak indeed. I just did a quick PSU calculation with the basic specs you gave and it come out near to 200W.
All i am saying is that if you do intend to stick with that motherboard and to try and upgrade your CPU. I can't stress enough how much you would need to get a better quality PSU and one at least 350-400W. If the PSU goes, it will a lot of the time take something else out with it.
Hope you get something sorted so good luck with it

One thing to consider, that motherboard may have been made by ECS but it is likely customized for emachines. Most certainly the bios is, and that is unlikely to have anywhere near the CPU of the reference ECS board.

Yep well there are quite a few compatible CPU's in that list I sent I was more concerned really about the max 2GB RAM to be honest.
Plus CM if you are going to go to an SSD I suppose you will have one around for when you can do a build mate.
The eMachines are made by Acer and down here are really very well priced so worth thinking about cos I would hate for you to get the CPU and SSD only to find the PSU or something else falls in a heap.

Crikey CM I am so sorry mate it is a shame you didn't live nearer I could give you an old machine that would knock spots off that one but....
But this isn't solving your problem mate just get hold of one of the dual cores and that is about as good as it will get as AddRam says the memory speed and also the max you can run is hobbling you badly 2GB is a drop in the bucket with OS's these days.
Good luck and do let us know how you go
