This Q6600 which is a LGA 775 Socket and it's FSB is 1066MHz: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115017
My motherboard is a Abit 945P IL9 Pro. It supports 1066MHz FSB and it's socket type is LGA 775: http://www.motherboards.org/reviews/motherboards/1680_2.html
The only conflicting thing is that almost anywhere I go that motherboard says it doesn't support Quad, yet it says it supports Duo.
So, the obvious, would this processor work with that motherboard? If it wouldn't, what would be the worst that could happen to the motherboard/processor? Is it possible for me to buy the processor and return it to let's say frys if it doesn't work? What is the best way to approach this?
Thanks for any help.
