What is your motherboard model number.

If you don't know, download CPU-Z

Depends on your motherboard. You need to see what processors your motherboard supports.

Lga775

That's your socket type, not your motherboard model number.

Early 775 boards only supported P4/PD and not C2D, so as voyager has been stating it depends entirely on the board itself.

I just realized he's posting about an Optiplex GX280. The answer is no. If you want a core 2 duo you're going to need to buy an Optiplex 755 or newer.

945 chipset or newer from memory.

The 945 chipset will only run a few of the older core 2 duo's. You would need the 965 chipset to run all of the core 2 duo's.
