What is the best CPU upgrade for my Dell Dimension 2350?

Update:

Is it the Pentium 4 -3.4Ghz???? It is 100% factory from dell with a 478 socket.

Update 2:

I cant buy a new PC this is my work computer and i tried getting them to buy a new one and its a no, the absolute best thing i can do is upgrade i upgraded my ram already from 512mb to 2gb 400mhz (266mhz max on the mobo) but the cpu is horrible 1.7 Intel celeron.

Update 3:

It's hard going from an i7, SLI 970s, 16gb ram to this every day :(

    You have such an old computer, it would be better to buy a new one rather than upgrade. There's not much to upgrade either except to a Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, which is not worth the money.

    Also, as Etamitlu said above, maybe look into upgrading the PC all together.
