I take it you're referring to your Optiplex 380 DT that you mentioned in your other thread. Max CPU it can take is Intel Core 2 Quad 9650 3.0GHz 95 watt.
I wish people would really stop trying to upgrade ancient PC systems like this, as it's a game and all you'll lose is your money... and possibly your otherwise-working system.
Just be happy such an old PC still works, and take that upgrade money and save it for a new or refurbished system in the future. No upgrade is going to do anything substantial to any system older than a 4-series Intel Haswell.

Quads are Quite a bit more than Duo and require 305 - 375W power supply so no this is not supported.
Specific models Like the Inspiron 530 for example have a specific motherboard and 350W power supply.
Same with the Precision T3400/3500 with 525W power supply.

He has a small form factor unit with 235W power supply.
Using a Quad Core Processor without the performance Copper heat sink H896D may be an issue. The Aluminum version 2RNJH will likely have "issues"

Hi @bmcowboy,
Where did you get that from? If I may ask; it's the first I heard of it.
