This will give you some info on the topic - dual core yes; no mention of quad core.

Sadly, no, the highest you can go is the AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+, which is a 3 GHz dual-core. Even then, you might encounter problems with power consumption and/or heat output (or flat out failure to boot) that give uninformed users fits on some OEM boxes. Running CPU-Z on your PC and linking a screenshot of the CPU tab is the easiest way to get help on a compatible upgrade.
