[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 1017585, member: 89124"] Looks like the system is just designed for PC2-5300 DDR2 ECC Fully Buffered chips, I don't see anything about being able to use faster ram and getting a speed benefit. I don't blame you for wanting more speed ;) I'd love to eak out a little more in mine as I do a lot of video transcoding, but if you could move from 2xdual core to 2xquad core that would be a huge increase in overall processing power. Either way, you should be able to get those 3.06 (I think was the number) GHz dual core xeons and put them in - but read that article, they show exactly what needs to be done. Not for the feint of heart ;) [/QUOTE]
