Will my 1156 CPU fit onto a 1155 Motherboard?

[xnin3]

I have a Intel Core i5 650 @ 3.2 GHz, and am looking to get a new Motherboard, I was just wondering, will my CPU, a Socket 1156, fit into a Motherboard that is socket 1155? Here is the motherboard I will probably get: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138332

nope. but you can also get a i3 2100 which is inexpensive for its performance and even improve in certain areas:
