Use a quad core on this motherboard?
And if I can, would it be worth keeping the board or upgrading?

We will need the model number of your motherboard to answer this one.

Ehm, why is your cpu running at that speed? It should be running at 1862mhz (7x266). And your PCIe is running at x8 mode? You're having problems with your system you should sort out first. Probably because it's Dell :x

8x PCI-E. What the hell?
