T1742 CPU Upgrade; Want to upgrade from 1.7 Celeron

I have a T1742 w/1.7 GHz Celeron. I think the Mobo is an Imperial GV, no AGP slot, with a 400 MHz FSB. I just upgraded RAM to 1 GB but I do a lot of digital picture processing and want even more speed. Can I go to a P4 2.4 GHz with no problems? If anyone has done this will I see a substantial improvement? Thanks to all for this forum.

The T1742 comes with the Imperial "GL" board which will accept a P4 with a 400FSB. You should be able to hit 2.8Ghz if you can find one. Look here at TD's site for others upgrades:

Thanks. A 2.8 with a 400 FSB... you're right, it may be hard to find one. I can only find 2.8 Pentiums with 533 FSBs so far but the 2.4 with 400 FSB is quite common.

I would have to "Ask Seller a Question" and find out the exact S-Spec number to make sure it what you need. ;)
Or try these 4.

Thanks to everyone for your help. This forum is terrific. I'll let you know how my 2.8 P4 works, once I get one, as compared to the 1.7 Celeron. I would expect to see a big difference.
