I'm thinking of getting a few new parts for my computer, but I'm a bit stuck at getting a processor. This is mostly because I can't find what my motherboard specifically supports. It's an Asus P5VD2-X LGA775. The Asus website says that it supports all Core 2 processors. I currently have a Core 2 Duo E6300.

What I am getting confused about is if my mobo supports Core 2 Quad. I know it supports the Extreme models but there's no way in hell I'm dishing out 700 bucks minimum. I found a site with reviews that show what CPU's it supports, but the Quad isn't there.

I'm thinking that it does support it, simply based on the fact that their the same slot, but I'm not sure. I just started getting back into the computer parts scene, so it's still a bit daunting. But anyway, if anyone could tell me whether it does or doesn't support it that would be great. I bet I'm gonna feel really stupid after this, but whatever . Thanks
