Upgrading from xeon single to dual core in PE2800 will I also need to upgrade my heatsink?

I currently have a 2800 tower with the single core xeon processor and the factory heatsink. I'm upgrading to a dual core xeon 2.8 from ebay

My question is will I have to change my heatsink? Are the two processors the same height? Will the heatsink make contact with the processor?

The only reason I ask is because I remember reading something to that effect but I can't remember where.
