The 745 is not a XEON based system and is not suitable as an ESX server.
VT-x is basic for most dells as early as GX620 but is not supported in all processors.
Pentium D 960 for example is required for Pentium D series.

Pentium D 960 does work with the Optiplex 745 but not all models. Its a 130W cpu that requires copper heatsink and 305W power supply which means Mini tower only.
J9761 Heatsink and Shroud Assembly; PERFORMANCE, MT
M8802 Power Supply, 305 Watt, PFC, MT
M8805 Power Supply, 305 Watt, PFC, MT
M8806 Power Supply, 305 Watt, PFC, MT
The Recommended CPU for 745 VT is E6000 Series.

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo 1066MHz FSB Socket T with Dual Core technology XD, EM64T, 2MB and up to 4MB L2 cache, EIST and VT (E6000 series) which is Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) it is NOT VT-d and it is not suitable as an ESX server.
