    According to the HP service manual, dv6600 models can use T7300, which mean it probably has a Santa Rosa chipset with 800 MHz FSB support.

    Now you have these following problems,
    1. HP Bios support T7700, which shouldn't be an issue.
    2. Getting a working T7700, I think I went through 3 refurbished T9300 trying to upgrade my old Inspiron 1420 (similar platform) and none of them worked. So good luck on this one.

    They are both 800 MHz Merom cpus, if your computer can use one, it should be able to use the other. Use CPU-Z to look up your chipset version, then we'd know for sure. It will be probably somewhere along the line of PM965 or GS40.
