Inspiron 546 CPU upgrade

We have an Inspiron 546 that has a AMD Sempron LE-1300 2.3 Ghz processor. Single core. I'd like to upgrade that to anything better than what it has. Prefer a dual or quad core. What would be compatible for this. Is there a list? Also, what is the highest amount of RAM this can take? 64 bit windows 7 / 10 operating system

There is no processor list available for the Inspiron 546, the following thread gives several compatible processor upgrades and is worth a read:

Note: Prior to installing the processor, check that your system has the latest BIOS version installed.

The 546 supports a maximum of 8gb of DDR2 memory, see page 53 Here:
