You don't Socket 754 and 939 are dead ends with no upgrades. Most AM2+ CPU'S will work on on current AM3+ motherboards as long as they support DDR3, but anything AM2 or below is no longer supported.
On the CPU socket, thats the white plastic socket, with the arm. You will see written on it, the socket number.
The socket number may also be written near the RAM modules, so keep an eye out for it.
Your socket is AM2. You can put any AMD processor that has AM2. If the processor is AM3 just upgrade the bios of your motherboard and it should work.
If you need further assistance, just leave a comment.

The SR1750nx's has Socket 939 on it's mainboard, which isn't compatible with the X2 4050e, because it's for Socket AM2. The fastest processor you can put in it is the "Athlon 64 FX-60" I think, but I don't know if you can buy it anymore.
Most of the newer processors use a different socket.
The Socket 939 chips go up to an Athlon 64 X2 4400+.
However: keep in mind that your computer's bios may not be setup to use newer CPU's. The only way to tell is to check compaq's web site for updates or just to buy a CPU and try it.
