Does my motherboard Dell Inc. 0PY423 compatible with the Intel E8400?

Motherboard socket LGA 775
E8400 socket LGA 775

Physically it will fit. THere's some differences in FSB speed though which will mean the CPU can't work to its fullest.

That motherboard with an Intel i945P/PL/G/GZ chipset doesn't support Core2 processors.
