i suggest a Core 2 Duo E8400, it sells for $170 at Newegg.com it is overclockable and can get up to a very fast speed, its worth an investment.

No it is not supported. Your board only supports older Core 2 Duos, and even then, it only does if it is revision 2 - this will be printed on the board itself - could be 'REVISION 2.0' or 'v2.0' - if it's a one point something, it's no good, you may as well keep the same processor.
Realistically though, AGP is ancient, so you should consider upgrading the board in the near future.
