CPU Upgrade for MSI Mainboard

[erh]

I have a MSI 975X Platinum V.2 MB with a E6600 CPU. I am interested in upgrading the CPU & was wonder what is the fastest CPU that will work in this MB?

This is the motherboard in question:

The Q6800/6700 would be the fastest processors supported with the proper BIOS. OCing the Q6600 to 3GHz.would be the obvious thing to do.

EDIT: I see you have the 'e' 6600. I have that processor too. Your MB will support 65nm Quads with the right BIOS. I also have the 'Q' 6600 running great in a P965.
