Depending on the motherboard, you may be able to upgrade to an AMD 500, but
that's it. If you have the original manual, it will tell you.

Hi Robert,
I've been looking into this also. I found a neat thing offered every so
often on eBay called the "Renaissance" adapter. It's made by the company
"Powerleap" (I have a different Powerleap 1.3Ghz Slot 1 adapter in my old
440BX PC). This goes into an open PCI slot & basically takes over
everything from the original mobo. It will bring you up to- their
suggestion- an AMD 450mhz CPU w/decent amount of SDRAM. I can't promise
that there will be one there when you look but check back every once in a
while. I think the set up I've described ran in the neighborhood of $80.
Here's one on the site now:
