I'm considering a CPU upgrade for my HP p6150t from a E5300 to one of the Core 2 Duos mainly to take advantage of the 1333 bus speed and my recently added and increased new high speed memory. I have this Pegatron/Eureka MB

It gives the Intel chipset as : "Intel G43 Express"

Well, Intel's configurator gives Three different Chipsets for G43.

http://processormatch.intel.com/compdb/SearchResult.aspx?BoardName=G43&Lang=en-US

How can I tell which of the four is mine?
Is this mother board really compatible with all of the Wolfdale and Yorkdale Intel processors that work with a 775 socket as implied in the first link? It seem that there can be some problem with an attribute that in measured in nm "architecture?"

What should I look out for when buying one of these processors? BTW are there any legitimate suppliers of these processor's new? I've seen some info that the E8400 was produced up to about a year ago. Is it realistic to think that you could buy one new at this point?
