Jaguar 45.
You did not post the FSB, but as you have a 1.8GHz processor, I'll assume, it is a 400MHz FSB,[if this is incorrect, then post back] the following specifications for your system give a 2.0GHz processor, as the highest, but this was at the time of manufacture. You should be able to use a 2.4GHz or higher if you can find one.

Jaguar 45,
I've found that replacing a processor to be a fairly easy project, here are the instructions for the D/4500s.
