Default Motherboard/CPU Compatibility Question

I'm thinking about upgrading my processor.

My current CPU information follows:

AMD Sempron 3200+
Socket 939
90 nm
1.435 V
1803.8 MHz
Single Core
Single Thread

My current Motherboard information follows:

ASUS A8N-VM CSM
NVIDIA GeForce 6150 Chipset
NVIDIA nForce 410/430 MCP Southbridge

I want to upgrade to this:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8500
LGA775 Socket
45 nm
1333 FSB
0.85V – 1.3625V

So my question is, will my current motherboard support this new processor?

No.

AMD and Intel use completely different architectures and sockets.

It wouldn't fit, let alone work.
