Old cpu question

I have a hp computer with original board, but my vs psu and spare gpu upgraded into it and the processor in this is a Celeron D 336 3.20ghz and while it speeded up abit after doing some windows updates after installing Windows 7 it stills feel slower than I'd have liked despite 2gb ram.

Now I paid a fiver for this and just swapped in my psu, gpu and a hdd so to date it's not cost me any extra and I am thinking of seeing what it's like with kodi and sell the better computer I'm working on, however the processor just won't do even to sell and I have a pentium 4 HT 524 sitting on a dead pin socket doing nothing and wondering if I would get a big boost in performance if I swapped over or would it be better to spend couple quid on a pentium D 820 or something?.


I have tried google search and so many mix reviews I thought I would ask you guys, if the computer wasn't so clean and well looked after I would just do it, but rather not if its not worth it if you get me.
 
hello, thanks for reply, but sorry if i gave the wrong impression, i already have a haswell system thats pretty decent, i have just been buying older computers on the cheap to fix/upgrade and either sell or use for myself(well at least one lol) as a 2nd system :).

i had a q6600 i built the other week and didnt keep in the end, but dont think id have another, £20 id rather spend on other parts just because for what im doing/wanting i feel i would get better with a sort of balance, mean im sporting a 7200gs in this build right now lol.


but on another note, i should not risk ruining for the sake of it then.
