Will my CPU and RAM be compatible with this motherboard?

Will my Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 (2.66 GHz) be both physically, and electronically compatible with the motherboard in the link? I know that sometimes processors will not work on motherboards, even if has the same socket type. Due to bridge type, and FSB compatibility issues. If you are a computer whiz, especially when it comes to hardware, will my CPU work fine in this motherboard?

I also have 6GB of DDR2-800MHz RAM. Will that fit too? I was hoping to upgrade my motherboard for the holidays, from my Foxconn G33 to the Gigabyte motherboard listed in the link at the top of this post.

Also, use the following link to see detailed specifications on my current PC. Note that I have since upgraded the PSU from a 400W to a 750W. I have also purchased a Cooler Master HAF 932 full tower case, but have not had it installed yet as I do not currently have physical possession of my PC. It has been repaired by the manufacturer, and is being shipped via truck to the store in which I purchased my PC from.

I'll probably have it back within the next Two weeks. When I do, I'll pay them to transfer everything from my Gateway FX case, into the HAF 932.

The Gigabyte motherboard has very nice overclocking abilities. My current Foxconn G33 OEM has overclocking permanently disabled in the BIOS.

I still say: 22-year-old stripper.

Think on it. You don't even have to spell well.

The links don't work dude.

So here's what i'll tell you. Which ever mother board you're looking at has to be CPU Socket Type LGA 775. That's what type your Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 is. Also, It'll tell you under the specs of the motherboard what memory standard it'll take, for instance : Memory Standard DDR3 1066/1333/2130. If you're trying to OC your hardware, you also need to make sure it's getting good air flow in your tower so none of it over heats and fries.
