Will a BOXDP965LTCK motherboard work with a Core 2 Quad 1066 FSB (Q6600)? It's listed as Core 2 compatible but they only say Duo and Extreme, not Quad - will it work anyways?

That board is an Intel desktop motherboard. Intel has a link to the supported CPU's.
See http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dp965lt/sb/CS-026556.htm?wapkw=dp965lt for which CPU's are supported.
If it is not in the list then it will not work.
If it is in the list and your BIOS version is too old then you want to update the BIOS before changing the CPU.

http://processormatch.intel.com/CompDB/SearchResult.aspx?Boardname=dp965lt This shows it as compatible. Are you sure? – Andrew Wonnacott – 2013-01-21T17:57:03.680
http://ark.intel.com/products/27730/Intel-82P965-Memory-Controller As does this. I think you are mistaken. – Andrew Wonnacott – 2013-01-21T18:01:41.297
For the record, Dave M's original answer claims it does not support it. – Andrew Wonnacott – 2013-01-21T18:02:32.640

@Hennes Thank you for that link. If you post that as an answer, I'll give you credit for it. – Andrew Wonnacott – 2013-01-21T18:02:10.207
