sff as in small form factor?
You'd need to check to see if Dell ever offered such a configuration, as it is possible the power and/or thermal constraints (especially in an SFF case) might have made this unfeasible, as there is more to compatibility than fitting into the socket...

Q9650 is the best available for that. Q9550 is popular also.
Here are the builds for that. You can see the relative performance.

Dell# JP911 is the SFF quad core heatpipe cooler.

If you really don't want to upgrade the cooler there are Q9550S, and Q9505S 65W CPUs. But unless you find a deal they cost more than adding the cooler. You have to remove the cooler anyway to change the CPU.
Let me know if it's a DT. They take a different cooler and have an interesting GPU option also.
