Here is how HP says to determine your processor type:

Or you can download Belarc. It will give you tons of info about your system.

Processor Brand Intel
Processor Socket Type mPGA478
Processor Family P4 and Celeron (Willamette, Northwood)
Proc. Front Side Bus Freq. 400 MHz
Chipset Name 845GL
It will probably take a Pentium 4 Northwood 2.4GHz. Anything higher, I'm not sure what the bios is capable of recognizing.

I believe it was a socket 478 celeron. You should be able to put a Pent. 4 in there with no problem - old technology however - but anything is better then that dog celeron.
