Looking 4 compatible dual core processor

As much as I would like to build a new system, I can't right know with money being super tight. So I'm looking to upgrade my processor to improve and extend my current rig's life. I used the program Speccy to get my pc's cpu info and this is what I'm getting:

Intel Pentium D 820

So my question is in regards to where it refers to the manufacturing technology which is 90nm, I would like to upgrade to 3.2 or 3.3 dual core but the technology states 45nm....will this be a problem or can I go ahead and do the upgrade? This is the info I can pull from my motherboard if this can help:

Hello;

For a list of compatible processors for your desktop board I recommend you to contact Dell* directly, or to check your system technical product specification this information usually is provide by system manufacturer.
