can an intel processor e5300 be installed on a d946gzis mainboard ?

Question

I checked the compatibility list of d946gzis. But i cannot understand why the e5300 can't work with the main. ( I personaly think that they haven't update that for years because d946gzis is old anyway). So can you tell me how to recognize if a processor is compatible with a main or not. Because e5300 has shocket lga775, bus 800mhz, 2.6ghz, quite compatible for me. Thanks!

what you dont realise is, each processor
is listed on the intel archive site and you can click a link
to show compatible products. it then shows you the list of
CHIPSETS supported.

for example a similar E4700 supports the intel 946GZ but the E5300 doesnt and thats why its
not on the list of compatible processors for the board.

I think is compatible. Motherboard and the processor are using same socket types.
