Can my motherboard handle a Core 2 Duo

Q: This is the mobo i have: http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en-us/mb/content.php?S_ID=92 This is the processor I want to upgrade too: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115052 The mobo has the right socket but i think its too old, also would this processor be an improvement from a Pentium D Dual- Core 3.2ghz

A: The motherboard supports the 775 Socket for the Core 2 Duo and the Pentium D Dual Core, but the FSB support for the motherboard is only up to 800mhz and the Core 2 Duos use a FSB of 1066 or 1333mhz. Newegg will have the motherboards that support the higher bus speeds, try looking into ASUS.
