I am a mac person, but I have a PC in my office for "certain software" that won't run on a mac.  I upgrade my Macs regularly, and keep them relatively current for years.  I know the easy fix is just to buy a new PC, but money is tight, and ... I decided I must be able to get a little more life out of my Pavilion 4445.  Problem is, Google is not helping!

Can anybody here tell me whether 1: I definitely have a socket 370 on my motherboard (or how I can find out) and 2 :whether I will notice a difference going from a Celeron 366 mhz to a Celeron 733.  I only word process and do light downloading on this machine - no gaming or graphics, really.  The Celeron 733 is only 15 bucks!

Just installed a network card for 15 bucks, and added memory for another 20.  Seems like parts are cheep, but how far can/should I take the upgrades?

Thanks!
