Your current setup uses a Core 2 Duo E6600 socket, and you're considering switching to a Core 2 Quad Q9400. Besides the compatibility of the socket, ensure your motherboard supports the new chipset and has sufficient RAM and power delivery. Also, verify that your CPU cooler is compatible with the upgraded system. Let me know if you need more details!
