On the motherboard, you will find stamped, usually in boldface white lettering, a manufacturer and model number, or just a model number.
This number, is what we need to see, so we can tell you what your max upgrade is.
Even documentation with a board is no good really as bios revisions usually let the motherboard handle newer cpus after the manual was printed.

Download 3dMark2001. It tells you clearly what your mobo can handle. It does more than benchmark, it is also very helpful in determining your hardware.
