Intel 945G Express upgrade

Alright I have a Intel 945G Express and I was wondering if a Intel Pentium E5700 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 2MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor BX80571E5700 would be able to run off it.

No it would not

looks like a E6600 C2D 2.4ghz is the fastest

Alright so I should the E6600 thanks!

*Edit*
actually it says I can use the E6700
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E6700 (4M Cache, 2.66 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
should I get that instead?

That would be the best CPU
I missed that in the list
just be careful it doesnt cost too much
I bought my E4500 for $53 with shipping included used on US Ebay
works great
if Ebay is available look for a top rated seller with a good return policy
and buy used
dont want to spend too much on an obsolete socket like the 775
once you get to the $100 USD mark your getting close to a new CPU and mobo
