You are restricted to 95w processors. Even though it's not listed, I would try the 435 Rana tripple core at 2900 hertz. Newegg has it for $87 shipped. To find out what motherboard version you have, use cpuid, a free download. Version 7.1 is most likely to work with this cpu. The quads in the 95w range are actually slower.
