your 3.0c SL6WK is a D1 stepping. E0 and D0 steppings are for prescotts. you have a northwood cpu. i had a SL6WK and it did 3.75ghz with 1.65v. should be a decent chip for you.
 
SL6WK is the s-spec code. If you look it up on the Intel website s-spec finder chart you will see it's a D1 stepping like Max said. Also, if you run CPU-Z on your system that will tell you too. Default vcore is probably 1.525v.
