I have Intel D865GLC motherboard. It has mPGA478 socket and Pentium 4 3 GHZ HT processor. My processor isn't enough for even daily use. Thus, I want to change it. Firstly, I looked for Intel's official support webpage.
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/desktop-boards/000006655.html
In there, maximum support of my motherboard is Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.4 GHz and 2 MB L3 Cache. Finding this processor is fairly difficult. There are only 1-2 Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.4 GHz on the online shopping and the cheapest is 299 USD. This is quite expensive, so there is only a choice. Core 2 Duo. I looked a lot of webpages, but I haven't managed to find any precise info yet. Someone says take risk and try it, other one says definitely not work, other one says mechanically fit but electrically not fit. I don't know what should I do against these answers. Finally, I looked Game-Debate. Game-Debate says several of Core 2 Duo's will fit D865GLC. (T2050 and T5250.)

Although this, I'm still not sure about Core 2 Duo compability of D865GLC. Thus, I also looked chipset infos. My chipset is 865G. I looked for CPU compability of my chipset. In wikipedia, my chipset seems support the Core 2.

Is chipset important for processor compability of motherboard? And finally, Game-Debate says Core 2 Duo T2050 and T5250 will fit D865GLC I said it above. We assume it is correct. However, T2050 and T5250 aren't worth to pay them. Their clock speeds and caches are low. T6600 and T9500 are using the same socket with T2050 and T5250. Thus, can I use T6600 or T9500? T6600 and T9500 use 35 W power. My Pentium 4 uses 85 W power. Are motherboard and socket defining power for processor? In addition to this, will my motherboard be damaged if Core 2 duo doesn't work on my mother board? Or will life of my mobo be reduced? Thanks answers for anyway.
Note: Please don't answer like 'Buy new motherboard or new system.' I'm fine for my motherboard. I want to upgrade it to the its maximum degree.
