I think an Core 2 Duo Extreme will do the trick, but what is my motherboard in my Optiplex 760?

Hi @EtanThePCKid,
The 760 doesn't take any "Extreme" CPU's that I know of. However, you might be able to upgrade to a Core 2 Quad. It's not mentioned the size of your 760 - MT, DT, SFF, or USFF? Speedstep already has a photo of the different models above in his post.

You can use a free system info program to find the motherboard model number, and lots of other info. One of the best is called HWINFO..

The DT power supply does not support Quads.
You are limited to
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8600/3.33GHz, 6M, 1333FSB
Only the Tower Does.
The Optiplex 760 MT uses two motherboards -
T674K Non-Quad core CPU motherboard
U562N Quad core CPU motherboard
Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q9650/3.00GHz, 12M, 1333FSB
You you cannot use a quad core CPU on it.
