check with your motherboard manufacturer website to see whether there's any further bios update released or not or better post the exact model and manufacturer name of the motherboard.
 
are you sure it's Zebronics not Zotac because I could not find any zebronics nvidia 7050/nforce 610i mobo on zebronic's website .. anyway, even if there's such a product I would not dare putting a quad core cpu on a such mobo simply because the build quality can't be trusted.

Agree, 610i is pretty old and it doesn't seem that it supports Quad core processor.

Like I said before running a quad core cpu on a motherboard with NF7050/610i is not a very good idea but as Q6600 is a old 65nm cpu it should be supported by the board you have but still it deoends on the manufacturer.

Why I'm saying this ? - have a look at the links I've posted before in which an asrock motherboard supports every Q6600 cpus on the other hand the xfx 610i motherboard only supports 95W TDP Q6600 cpu.

BTW, FYI Q6600 has two versions one with B3 stepping [ 105W ] and another with G0 stepping [ 95W ] .. now most of the motherboards with 610i chipset supports the 95W TDP Q6600 cpu so see whether the Q6600 you are is a G0 stepping cpu or not first.

Let me be clear... I'm looking forward to buy C2Q for short-term i.e., 4-6 months.. After that.. i'll upgrade whole rig, probably to amd fx6300.. But not now.. Now i'm in need of a quad core, 'cause of my mobo.. Which is a lga775 socket one.. I'm just curious which C2Q would be good and supports my system, which has a 450w psu as well..! My monitor resolution- 1440x900.. I ran max payne 3, Gta 4 at this res. With high settings!

Q9550 is best for the legacy C2Q. Doubt you will be able to find one.
