Can I use an Intel Q9400 Core 2 Quad SLB6B in a Mac Pro 5,1

The chip reads:

Intel '06 Q9400

Intel Core 2 Quad

SLB6B MALAY

2.66GHZ/6M/1333/05A

L834B450

You will have to ask Apple which processors are supported to determine if the Q9400 is supported.

Thank you,

For future reference: I researched and found that the above processor is compatible with socket LGA775 and is not compatible with my Mac Pro which is socket LGA1366.

Not only must the processor must be socket compatible, it must also be supported by the motherboard's bios (which, in this case, is Apple).
