Core 2 Quad on Q965 chipset?

Hi, i would need your help. I wanna upgrade my cpu from core 2 duo e7500 to any core 2 quad of Q9 series. However, my mobo has Q965 chipset, that officially doesn't support core 2 quad, but it shouldn't support 45nm cpu as well and i'm using E7500. I've downloaded SiSandra Lite and it tells me...

Perhaps you shouldn't upgrade that prebuilt since I doubt that the PSU in that build and the power delivery area on the motherboard would be finnicky after all these years.

Why?
You'd be going from "crappy" to "very slightly less crappy".

You'll not see any real performance gain.

If it's what you can afford, go ahead, I bet if you could buy anything better you wouldn't be stuck in an old cpu.
