"LGA775 socket for Intel® Core™2 Duo / Pentium® D / Pentium® 4 / Celeron® D Processors"http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=498&l4=0&model=1768&modelmenu=2
This is from asus website on your board, so yes it does support C2D. Also make sure your ram is 667mhz.
It's not about clock speed, it's about the model of the card. An E8400 (runs at about ~$150) will boost your performance some. In this case though, upgrading to either an 8800GTX or a 9800GTX will boost your performance a lot. Keep in mind though that the slower processor with either of those graphics cards might bottleneck you a bit. To see the biggest performance increase, upgrade both :p (money permitting). Otherwise, GPU now, CPU later.

since it doesn't officially support 1333mzh fsb it probably doesn't support the e8xxx cpus and may not support any 45nm cpus so I'd look at getting e6xxx or e4xxx or even e2xxx any of those will make a huge difference
