Only the first generation Core i CPUs will work. You're close to the top of the list of those CPUs (while there's an i7-880, it's not enough faster to warrant an upgrade). An i5 would be a step down from what you have.
Translation: any CPU upgrade other than a very slight boost to an i7-880 would require a new system.
