Yep it's an LGA 775 CPU and your motherboard only supports the LGA 775 socket.

LGA 775 was really confusing.

 

First, you had the 900 Series chipsets for Pentium 4 and the original Core (Core Duo, Core Solo), and you couldn't update the BIOS to support Core 2

 

Then you have the 30/40 Series which only worked with Core 2

I agree, anything really lower than that and I get lost, so forums help a lot. Also I can't actually find the specific maximum RAM capacity of that board. I know its DDR3 but nothing other than hat currently.

I found that its the Q43 series chipset, so it should work.
