First upgrade would be thoroughly clean it inside.
Second upgrade would be to replace the temperature paste between the current processor and HSF.
Addressing Memory Configurations
If you are using a 32-bit operating system such as Microsoft ® Windows ® XP, your computer will support a maximum of 4 GB of memory. If you are using a 64-bit operating system, your computer will support a maximum of 8 GB (2-GB DIMMs in each of the four slots) of memory
Notice the RAM limit. You could double current RAM but modules can't exceed 2GB in size. There shouldn't be a speed limit, so get faster than the 667 Mhz you currently have.
A new video card.
You could go with a quad core CPU, but don't really think it's worth the extra bucks.
