I would avoid that chip, as it performs about the same as a celeron 500 or less. If you plan on doing anything other than web browsing, it just wouldn't be a viable option.

But, to answer your question, yes it could be upgraded depending on your motherboard. You could get a celeron 800 for about $50 and it would be a much better option in my opinion.

Unless you are getting a new system then I would definatly reccomend a duron or athlon over a celeron or p3 system.
