Depends on how it was ordered. Full specs are here: https://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dim2300/specs.htm
Upgrade options are limited and may not give much improvement. You'll need a socket 478 Pentium 4, single core. https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=pentium+4&hl=en&safe=off&prmd=imvnsr&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=DEXhTomTBqahiALo68XrDg&sqi=2&ved=0CGMQrQQ&biw=1280&bih=868
Here is a video about upgrading the 2300. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbkrHnqz3Kk. It's brief and not very good but there are others as well.
You may be better off replacing the motherboard with a newer one.
