Look around your local computer stores, thrift stores, etc basically anyone who takes in older computers. You can find some old but good stuff and usually cheap.
You can probably find out about the upgradability of your HP if you search Google for the model number. Or see if you can find your motherboard model - most HP motherboards are unlabeled but I've seen a few HPs with ASUS boards in them. Look up the model number of the board and it should tell you what the fastest processor it supports is.
