See p. 20 of the Service Manual here:

The motherboard only supports Celeron CPUs so there is no worthwhile upgrade you could do without replacing the whole motherboard. If you really want to make a project of it a better motherboard and processor for that model could likely be found for not very much money but the laptop is still just about obsolete at this point.
