It's likely too old to 'upgrade', you may be able to get a newer AM3 processor in the board you're using but it depends on the motherboard.

Unfortunately it doesn't support any newer processors, only the original Phenom which were largely terrible.

What's the upgrade for? It's likely you can get a very cheap motherboard and not spend too much more than you would originally for a new CPU. And is your case ATX or micro-ATX?

MA770 + X3 720 is probably the best path, but without knowing what you're using it for it's hard to say whether you'll get your money's worth.
