P4 processor will not install on a P2 processor motherboard. It would
need to be replaced.

It's a no go. The best you can hope for processor-upgradewise would be
a lower range p3. P3 450mhz or 500mhz may be the limit. Yes, a p3-450
is an upgrade from a p2-450. But... "starter" computers are extremely
cheap just now that are at least 10X as powerful as your current
system.
