DELL Optiplex 745 CPU Update to q8400

Hi

My father has Optiplex 745. It works good but the CPU is pretty old - E2200 :) 

I want to update it to Q8400.
Is it possible?

Thank you.

45nm wolfdale q8400 will not work.

Up to 531 (3GHz,1M,800 FSB)
 
Core 2 Duo is the max tested.  
There were people who tried Core 2 Core 2 Quad (Q6600) no confirmation or S spec however.

BIOS version 2.6.4 is required as well as a Tower 300W POWER
