The Optiplex 760 with the 0M858N motherboard does support the following Q9550, Q9650, Q9400, Q8300 and Q8200, Core 2 quad processors.
Prior to installing the processor, check that you have the latest BIOS version installed, with version A11 updated Intel Processor's microcode was added.
Current HyperV virtualization requires Core I3 I5 I7 64 bit SLAT instructions so the answer is not a simple yes or no. The Old virtual PC for XP only required VT-X.
I am looking to run Virtualbox and do i need to change power supply to upgrade to quad core Q9400? also what is the best video card i can run without changing power supply? my budget is around $25.00 i am looking to order from ebay
All Nehalem and later processor have EPT support as part of VT-x. In the Intel product catalog SLAT is with Core iX-XXX (e.g., i5-XXX). Q9400 doesn't have it because it is based on Core2. Which means No SLAT which means virtualization is not working. This is not a Xeon workstation. The system you have only has support for IA-32 (VT-x).

There is no support for Virtual Box here.
Virtual Box 5 DOES NOT SUPPORT XP.
There is no ebay support here.

Most of the current virtualization software requires a Core i CPU minimum. So -- no.
