Of course, however you have to know the type of processor you can handle. You may have a HP, DELL, COMPAQ, or other brand written on your computer. Go to their site and put in the product key on the computer, it should direct you to your model. Now you can look at the specs on your motherboard and it should tell you what your motherboard is aloud to upgrade to for you processor. As for the power supply =, you may want a specialist to look and see what kind of power supply you should buy depending on what your trying to do.
Hope this helps!
That would require purchasing a new motherboard, processor, and power supply.
Upgrade the power supply to a faster more powerful one.
Usually, you do not have to upgrade anything else.
A full upgrade would be your CPU to a higher speed, your RAM for more memory and your video card so you can play faster games. But you have to be careful, your power supply that is installed was installed with the wattage for that particular system. If you do a full upgrade you may find that your power supply can no longer produce enough power to your motherboard, then you would have to add a new power supply also.

Only just, but I would still upgrade it as soon as possible.

You can't. The processor is usually soldered onto the motherboard in netbooks.
See, an RAM upgrade will give you the power to run more programs without any lag. If your current computer runs without hanging and you just want a speed boost then you may consider an upgrade in the processor. I recommend you to see Intel i3-3200 processor. It is much better then core2duo and not very expensive.
A power supply unit (PSU) provides power to all the components in the computer. Typically that would include the system board, the processor, the video cards, and storage devices.
First of all you must ensure that your motherboard actually support the processor you have. If it is Supported, then maybe only in a newer Bios, and you would need to upgrade your Bios. If everything is a match and the processor just does not work, then take it out, check for damages and try to put it back in again. The chances are that it is actually faulty. There should be no need to upgrade power supply if computer has been running before with a different processor. If you are unsure regarding the powersupply, then try to disconnect power to harddrives and cd-roms. If this still not do the trick, then maybe the powersupply is faulty. The processor itself drains approx 95 Watts. A normal powersupply today support from 360Watts and up. You should be able to boot up with any powersupply supporting your motherboard. Be aware that some motherboards might need an extra powercable from supply to a square contact with 4 pins close to the processor. Normal colours on this cable is yellow and black. If your motherboard has got a connector for this and your powersupply does not have this cable, then this is the most likely cause of your problem.
