Hello! Your motherboard supports the E8400 CPU, so you can install an Xeon X5460. The Q9650 chipset is compatible, but the Intel G41 chipset may require some configuration. It’s worth considering if you plan to upgrade significantly, as the upgrade path and compatibility can affect performance.

It's achievable, you just need to locate something similar for a modest cost. You can search for "LGA 771 to 775 Adapter" on most online stores. Also, you'll have to remove parts of plastic from your CPU socket. Delidded.com offers a helpful tutorial on the process, available at: https://www.delidded.com/lga-771-to-775-adapter/
