CPU upgrade

[Loque]

hey, im looking to upgrade my CPU, and id'e like some suggestions.

At the moment I have a C2D E6300 Allendale overclocked to 3.15ghz
im looking for a good upgrade for around the £100 area

Ideally Id'e like a Wolfdale, as my machine does a lot of gaming, but im not sure it will be compatible with my motherboard, as its getting a bit old now. If anyone knows if a Wolfdale CPU will work in my motherboard, please let me know. Its a Gigabyte GA 965P-S3.
I also have 2gig of Geil DDR2800 memory

Thanks

quick google found this

http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/CPUSupport_Model.aspx?ProductID=2321 basicly no according to gigabyte

that sucks big time, rev.1.0 seems to be totally unsupported, but rev.3.3 seems to be unofficially supported? does that mean it works, or it doesn't? :S

if you have rev.1.0 then no questionable it's not supported. but if rev.3.3 then some of wolfdale cpu's are supported:

why gigabyte marked it as "unoffically" i don't know, maybe it's just against official intel chipset specs.
