I have an optiplex 360 and in games my cpu is maxing out at 100%. My cpu is a core 2 duo E8500 and my motherboard is a dell 0t656f. Does anyone know the highest cpu my mobo can support and if it can support quad core processors?

You've about ridden that horse about as far as it can take you. I know it is hard to say good bye to an old friend but the time has come to put that fella out to pasture. And time to save up your green stamps for a new rig, something from the more current generation like a Coffee Lake or Ryzen.
