Looking for a cheap CPU upgrade for this old motherboard. The thing is the manufacturer lists e7300 as the top supported CPU from the Core 2 Duo line.

I personally see no reason why it shouldn't support e.g. e7500, but maybe I'm missing something. Comparison of the two seems to indicate that both should work fine (and in fact e7600 top of e7xxx series too), but it bothers me that these CPUs are not on the manufacturer's list. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
