Quad core support

[MartyHero]

Hello guys. I have gigabyte ga-945gcm-s2l motherboard and I want to buy quad core processor, but I'm not sure if that motherboard supports quad core processors. Can anyone tell me if yes? Because I have been searching for long time and couldn't find it.
Thanks for answers.

Thank you, I asking because this guy have the same motherboard, and when you scroll down he says that he changed dual core to quad core http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/263948-29-disk-boot-faliure-overclocking-e2180

It's not on the cpu support list plus it's really not worth it spending money on such an old system. There are cheap i5 that are better.

Yes, I know. But I have old rig and maybe I should by a new pc. Anyway, thank you for your answer
