Depends on the bios version. I would post this on dell website's forum and see if anyone else has tried it.

I worked at dell, but another owner of your board can answer best. Some 965 chipset and newer dell boards will run quads, but some have wattage limits. The q series use 110 watts.

Hi. Half a year later... If of any help - I upgraded a dell precision 390 a while ago from E6600 to q6700 (SLACQ 95Watt version)
details below. It worked well after resetting bios to factory and shorting the Reset dipswitch on MB,
When finally working it overheated so had to get the upgraded heatsink for higher Wattage Cpus
dell part no. (X9694, xp850, P8016, DN004, N8055, T9303, X9694, K8977)
While at it I swapped the system disk for a SSD. The old workstation is flying again.
