[QUOTE="TheRealPorkchop, post: 1017581, member: 147469"] I believe my machine has 5150 processors in it right now. I know they are 2.66ghz dual cores, a pair of them. I already knew that the newer sockets couldn't be upgraded to, but thanks for that anyway, appreciate you looking out for me like that. I'd like to go up to maybe 5160's. I'm really interested in bumping up the L2 cache to be honest, of course getting a little speed increase on the processors isn't a bad deal either. But I believe I'm at 4mb of L2 right now and I'd like to go up higher, the higher the better. Also, I believe my FSB is at 667 and I'm wondering if I get a pair of processors that'll support 800 or higher could I swap out my ram for faster FSB ram as well? And yea, I'd be happy with dual core Xeon's just so long as I can get more L2 cache but I'd be very happy if I could run dual quad cores, wouldn't everybody who has a machine like this? [/QUOTE]
