Will any micro atx motherboard fit/work inside optiplex 760

You will probably have to add a new operating system with any change of motherboards, so the added cost makes your upgrade somewhat expensive. The newegg combo includes old ddr2 ram; if you still want to upgrade yourself, look for a combo deal with ddr3. I would post your question on one of the dell forums, and see if your current motherboard will take a quad core core2 duo, such as the q9550. Otherwise, consider wiping your files and selling your old dell intact; makes more sense than upgrading.
