Dear Sirs,
Please can you tell me if an Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz Dual-Core Processor work on an AsRock 775i65G R3.0 motherboard? Also in mind the Intel E8400 or E8600. Any alternative recommendations will be considered.
Or will I be best on either:
1. 775, Core 2 Duo, E4700, Conroe, 2.6GHz, 800MHz, 2MB ? (no overclocking).
2. 775, Core 2 Duo, E7300(M0), Wolfdale, 2.66GHz, 1066MHz, 3MB (overlocking required)
I have checked on the ASRock's website and CPU compatible CPU's but its not listed (link below), therefore I need your expert assistance. Also, on the website it refers to other processors but overclocking would be a requirement, I know nothing about overclocking, so I'll need some advice and help there too.

I'm currently running on Windows 7 Ultimate, 2GB Ram, Max usb Ready-Boost, The top Intel D Processor shown on ASRocks website (775, Pentium D, 960(D0), Presler, 3.60GHz, 800MHz, 4M), Nivida 6800 512MB VGA.
Obviously, cost is an issue so please consider this, so e-bay will be the source of purchase.
Kind regards, Jonathan
