Does the Intel Quad Core processors are supported to i3?

Is it possible to upgrade an Dell Vostro 230 desktop computer from Intel Quad Core processor to Intel i3 processor?

No, you cannot. Your motherboard does not support Core processors; it only supports the older Core 2 Duo/Quad processors.

S​orry,

@chrix_jar​ Also note that there have been 10 generations of the i3 processor (as well as i5 i7).
