No, that motherboard is only compatible with the Socket 775 CPUs, mainly Intel Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, etc.

If you're really on a tight budget and don't want to buy new parts, yes I'd recommend you getting a quad (Q9xxx series at least 3Ghz), but the really optimal way to go at it would be getting an entry level Motherboard + i3 1150 + 4GB RAM or 8GB, which would set you about the same as a good Core 2 Quad chip (those are rare and kind of expensive for what they are, at least in my country, used.) and would be a better option for gaming and things alike.

I agree. Don't bother upgrading the CPU in that motherboard, instead buy a cheap new board and a cheap new CPU. It'll perform better and give you some actual upgrade options later down the line.

thanks a lot guys... lemme tell u.. i dont wana throw this M'board... its workin fine n i m not that much into gaming (although i play CS very well ).... i just want my PC for simple daily tasks n some kinda programing ... i gave a thought to upgrade my PC config coz now a days basic s/w r coming up with newer versions n running those upgraded ones on old config was limiting my experience .. even internet browser's performance is getting worse day by day :D  .. i will go for Core 2 Quad ..

Alright, if you're happy with it. That's the most important :)

The Q6600 and the Q8200 are the cheapest on the market, they're low clocked quads though so single core performance will be reduced, again I'd suggest you picking up a 3Ghz + model. (ex: Core™ 2 Quad Q9650)
