What do you mean by "enough power for quad cores" and the other "enough power for dual cores"? Something is amiss here.
The motherboard is obviously the same, and the BIOS for that board accepts quad core CPUs, the only thing differing must be the PSU. Simply upgrade that.
P.S. Overclockers do not "add more watts" to the CPU. They add voltage through the BIOS, and also generally have decent quality PSUs from the start.

If you buy an Inspiron 530 from dell, an buy it with a dual core processor they ship a modified version of the board which limits the amount of power that can go though to the CPU.
