compatibility of MSI MS-7616 ver. 1.0 (P55) with Core i5-750 (Lynnfield)

Hello everyone, I have problem.

Is MSI MS-7616 ver. 1.0 motherboard compatible with Core i5-750 lynnfield cpu?
I found nice deal for it, but the seller says that this motherboard takes only ClarkDale processors?

Is he right, or am I missing something?

Thank you for anyones insight.

Seller is wrong, according to this spec sheet it takes both Lynnfield (Core i7, i5) & Clarkdale (Core i5, i3) processors:

Thank you, i this so too. Couldnt it be because they have older version, with older bios that is incopatible? Im itrigued why they would say otherwise.

Clarkdale cpus require higher BIOS version than Lynnfield.
So - if Clarkdale cpus are supported, this automatically means Lynnfield cpus are supported as well.
