Mac CPU upgrade speed?

Text:

Hey, i have a Mac Mini A1176 model with a 1.66 GHz Core Duo in it and I'm wanting to speed it up. Whats the maximum Core 2 Duo ship i can put in it that the logic board can use??

Im looking at Intel Core2 Duo E7500 Wolfdale 2.93GHz 3MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor BX80571E7500 from NewEgg that looks like it would give my mini a good boost and i am also going to get another stick of RAM for it.

Would the 2.93GHz work without a problem in the A1176?
