I have an asus P5BW-LA motherboard with an old intel core 2 duo e6700 2.66 ghz I want to upgrade to another product with the same socket. Can I?
 
Firstly is it Basswood or Buckeye?

Regardless, you can only change your processor to one of these:

Pentium D 8xx series (Smithfield)
Pentium 4 6x1 series (Cedar Mill)
Pentium 4 6xx (Prescott)
Pentium 4 5xx (Prescott)
Pentium 4 LGA-775 HT (Prescott)

Buckeye:

Socket: 775
Supports the following processors:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6x00 with Dual Core technology (Conroe core)
Pentium D 9x0 series Dual Core (Presler)
Pentium D 8xx series (Smithfield)
Pentium 4 6x1 series (Cedar Mill core)
Pentium 4 6xx series (Prescott core)
Pentium 4 5xx series (Prescott core)
