Since I do not know which mainboard your system has the best advice is go to www.belarc.com download "advisor" (free) after install open it up and look for your mainboard model; then Google itfor info to see which processors are compatible with your board. this way you can buy with confidence that you are getting the best and fastestchip for your system. Best of luck. Dave

Although I do not know if the system you mentioned supports the CPU, your socket 775 motherboard should accept the CPU. Just one thing to keep in mind; after upgrading to this CPU I experience very serious memory error issues, reinstalled the OS several times and got to the point where I thought tge system was seroiusly and pernanently damaged when I found that I had a bad power supply. Turns out the CPU required more power than my crappy mini ATX supply could handle. Bought a 600 watt one ( which I keep outside the mini ATX case of course) and all problems where resolved. This CPU makes my HT computer feel like a brand new machine. Would highly recommend it, just nake sure your power supply can handle it.

Depends on your motherboard. Open up the case and google stats for the serial or model number of your current motherboard.

It should be fine. I bought an Dell 745 Optiplex and I had no problem with any of my older items. Hooked up and running with no problems.

I didn't have to change my heatsink for this upgrade on my Dell Dimension E520, but it had a dual core when it was new. The only restriction would be if your motherboard is designed to take this processor. I looked up my motherboard and found this was as high as it would support.

Nancy, according to the Dell website this model optiplex 745 is already equipped with the Core 2 Duo but hard to tell which series- Possible upgrade to that would be the core 2 Quad.

the i5 3350p is socket lga 1155, and the optiplex 960 MT is socket 775. you may want to consider a motherboard upgrade as well--also note this processor is being discontinued by intel.

No, you need a 533MHz DDR2 with a max of 2GB per slot. http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/opti_745techspecs.pdf

yep it's AMD Socket AMD3+ but to make sure 100% go to asrock website under AMD Socket Motherboard AMD3+ and check the CPU compability list http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=CPU

Ours features a 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo, the technical details provided by amazon indicates a Pentium 4/D. E8500 Will NOT work in this system.

I Don't know, but you can go to the dell web site and contact support to see if this is a compatible CPU. Just email them and they will respond If you have time you can look in the manual download area to see if there are any specifications for your computer

That's hard to say. I have an Intel motherboard, so I went to Intel's website to find the fastest CPU my motherboard would handle. You could perhaps try to contact Dell customer support and ask them.

It seems Dell uses the same model numbers for different computers over the years, I found this http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/opti_745techspecs.pdf which is for an older version that would for sure not work with the ram. Or I guess looking at your link no it won't work, this is DDR3 memory, where as yours uses DDR2.But you could try downloading CPU-Z (http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html), go to the SPD tab after memory, you can at least get what speed of ram you have there and work off that.

Intel's Core i7-3517U CPU is 1.9GHz. Amazon has an error in their specifications, so I will submit a catalog correction request.

Yes sir, it is compatible with that CPU. I have the Intel Core i5-2500 in my current build and it works like a dream!

It looks like the Optiplex 745 motherboard uses DDR2 ram, the likes of which DDR3 is not compatible. So no, this ram will not work in your computer, you need DDR2 ram.
