Normally, if you have dual core, you can use quad cores aswell. Just, are you sure you have a dual core and not just a single core + hyperthreading? big difference there.
Only problem that might pop up is that your motherboard is OEM and has some freaky protection for other CPUs or RAM.
You could download CPU-Z, that would give us alot more info about the motherboard/cpu. Just print screen the info and post them here.

Problem might be that you only have 2 RAM slots, which would mean you have to buy 2 new 2gb sticks and get rid of your current ones.
About the CPU, I would go second hand, not really worth buying a brand new 775 CPU anymore, if you want to go new, get a 1156/1336 bundle instead.
