I'm going to upgrade my processor, and I was wondering if I can actually use the one I'm looking at. I'm currently using a e6700 with a LGA775 socket. I'm looking at an intel core 2 quad q8400 with a LGA775. Can I use the q8400 because they both have the same socket type.

If its the same socket then yes it will work! go for it.

You need to check your motherboard's CPU Support List to verify the new processor is supported. Just because it's the same socket type does not mean it's supported.
