Does my motherboard supports intel i3 or i5 processors . Help needed

[Lahsiv]

My motherboard is gigabyte g41mt-s2 rev 1.3 . I'm currently running intel core 2 duo e7500 2.93 ghz . I want to know whether i can use i5 or i3 with that same motherboard . Core 2 duo is a 45nm cpu . So my motherboard specs tell that it supports 45nm intel multicore processors , so can i use a i5 which is a 45nm cpu . And my motherboard says gt support core 2 duo , core 2 quad , core 2 extreme too . As i am new to this cpu thing i would use some answers . Plz .

no sorry.


core 2 duo uses the socket 775 motherboards


first gen core i3,i5 use 1156 (1366 for high end cpu)

second and third generation use 1155 (2011 for the high end chips)
