The CPU socket does not affect computer upgrading as much as one might think. There are some motherboards that can have a different CPU installed, resulting in increased performance. Many motherboards, however, are designed with a specific CPU in mind, and it is better, and cheaper in the long run, to replace the motherboard or even the entire system unit. (You can buy a whole new system for less than the price of replacing a motherboard, memory, and hard drives.)
