Q6600 G0 stepping = 95 watts

The word is the G0 stepping runs a little cooler which will allow for a higher overclock. But even with a B3 should still be able to get over 3ghz on air.

The guts of your computer look pretty similar to mine. You'll be happy.
OCing the Q6600 is a breeze...My B3 is at 3.01 Ghz (all FSB) on just a Ultra 120 Extreme with low flow fans all around. And that's with 4 RAM modules too.
