I have an old (2006) Poweredge 2800 server with one Xeon single core 64 bit processor in it. I have heard that my motherboard may be compatible with the dual core Xeons (Paxville) and would like to take advantage of this. I see that only some of the motherboards which came with the 2800 are dual-core compliant.
Before I make a purchase I would like to confirm that my motherboard is compatible with the Paxville CPUs.
Where is the part number / model number of my motherboard?
The sticker on the board states that it is an A04 version. I assume this is the BIOS rev. and I will be flashing A07 today.
The Changelog of the BIOS update states that they added dual-core support in A04.
I can supply pictures if you need. Thanks for your help.
