Bought from ebay...New as in 'new to you' and used?
I knw its a memory issue.. But seems smthing else.. Ram are inserted nicely....Remove and reinsert the memory, 3 beeps is a memory issue.
It seems u r correct...Seems the Q6600 isn't compatible with it. Here is the list of compatible cpu's.

Bios update... Hm...Your motherboard might not support that CPU.
Back in the days of Socket 775, i bought a Pentium D to replace my Pentium 4. Didn't work. Wasn't supported even though it fit the socket.
Check if you are running the latest bios. If not, see if the newer one says something about added support for Core 2 Quad.
