Will my ASUS P5MT-M motherboard support newer CPUs?

Question

I have an ASUS P5MT-M motherboard with an Intel E7230/ICH7R chipset.
I need to know what newer CPUs it will support.

Namely:
Core2 CPUs (Conroe, Kentsfield, Yorkfield, Allendale, and Wolfdale)
Dual-Core Pentium CPU's (Allendale and Wolfdale)

ASUS, Intel, CNet, and Wikipedia all seem to produce vague, conflicting information.
Any advice would be extremely helpful.

Answer 1

It is one of the earlier socket 775 server motherboards, it looks like the latest you can get away with is a few of the Dual Core Pentiums - see below.

On another note, I have built a few with similar chipset and did manage to get away with the first generation Core 2 via a third party BIOS upgrade, but I could swear it did not perform as well as it should and I would not recommend anyone to proceed down the same route.

Answer 2

according to the "CPU Support List" Smithfield and Presler Dual-Core Pentium CPU's are supported.

e.g. the Pentium D 960

Allendale and Wolfdale CPUs are NOT supported by this mainboard.

nothing 'vague' on the spec sheet
