Pentium dual core (exact spelling on the box!) and not pentium D and pentium 4, is esseitially the same as a core 2 duo e4xxx but with a 1mb cache instead of a 2mb cache.

and no you cant change it to a e6600 because e6600 has 4mb cache instead of 1mb, but you can overclock it to a e6600 speeds (and beyond).

yes it will affect your mobo, your mobo will have higer fsb and thus more performance. thats assuming your mobo supports and has options for ocing.
