It supports the Q9300 with bios update 1.6. If its not 1.6 just update it before you change processors.

A P35 will not support a 45nm directly. You'll need to flash as said above to use it. Check your current version though, it might be new enough.

Does not have anything to do with the P35 not supporting to directly, if so a bios update would not help. The bios just needs to be updated so the bios can recognize the CPU. The P35 has to support it or a bios update would not help or even be offered
