Unfortunately, OptiPlex 780 SFF supports Core 2 Duo/Quad processors and can not support Core-i processors.

concur w Chino. OP has Optiplex 780 SFF motherboard,

Cypher is a Dell internal epithet for old Optiplex SFF matrix (also in Matrix1)

but cheer up, a core 2 quad Q9650 actually is as good as Intel 2nd gen dual core i3-2100.

Having used both, the Q9650 is better than the i3-2100.  My previous 755 with a Q9650 was actually a little faster than my previous 7010 with an i7-3770.
