Greetings!

I have some Dell Optiplex 755's that have E2160 dual core 1.8's
in them. Anyone know what is the top end that I can use to replace
and upgrade these processors? Can I use the E4600's? Is a quad core
even an option?

Thanks for the help and suggestions!! Cool

Yes, it supports Core 2 Duo E4600. It also supports Q6600 and Q6700 quad-cores:

I don't think it works with newer 0.045 micro processors (E7x00/E8x00/Q9x00).

You might want to make sure and upgrade to the latest BIOS on the machine before swapping processors. But the 755 supports all Core 2 Duo CPU's with an 800, 1066, or 1333 FSB. 1600 FSB chips such as the Core 2 Extreme QX9770 are not supported.
