It might be compatible with the socket, but it is not listed on ark.intel.com as compatible with the chipset found in the 2850 (let alone with the Dell BIOS), so the processor likely wouldn't work anyway. It was often the case with desktops whose BIOS did not support enabling VT, that VT was already enabled with a supporting processor upgrade. Not sure if that would be the case on this system - the BIOS/chipset may simple not be capable of communicating the necessary code for VT to work.
