the CPU I'm trying to use is the Intel® Pentium® Processor E6600
(2M Cache, 3.06 GHz, 1066 FSB) - when I install it get a blank screen, but PC boots normal with the E6300 back in - wondering if a bios update is needed to recognize the new CPU? - thanks

Yes putting the 6300 back in and updating to the latest BIOS should definitely help your cause. The support page shows that motherboard being able to support any 6XXX series core 2 duo.
