Default Prebuilt AMD 780g specs

How would I go about finding the cpu wattage limit of the 780g motherboard that came in my Gateway DX4200-09 desktop. Currently it has a 65w Phenom 9150e. I'm just curious of what cpus I can upgrade to. Its a socket AM2+ board so if I can I would like to install a Phenom II 955 BE onto the board if it can handle the wattage. If not I have seen a 95w Phenom II 945. Am I thinking this through correctly?

I have contacted AMD and they tell me that there is no way for them to know what Motherboard I have and what cpu's I can upgrade to. That was my last resort. I have done a lot of research on the web and I have yet to find an answer.
