I just bought my new GeForce 8800 GTX and now I'm planning on getting a new processor. My ? to the computer gurus out there. Will my motherboard, currently using a Pentium D 930 w/ 800fsb be able to handle a Core2Quad 6600 with 1033fsb? My system is an XPS 600 by Dell, would there be anything else I'd need to check for as far as compatibility? Lata

You'll have to check what processors that motherboard supports... sometimes a BIOS update is required, sometimes it is a no-go.
