I currently have an old PowerEdge 2850 with the Legacy Xeon processors but I would like to upgrade the processors to get virtualization if possible. I have been looking at the Xeon 7110M processor because it uses the same socket and FSB speed but this is a different processor series than originally shipped with these servers. Will it be compatible?
The service manual states that the 2850 can utilize single-core or dual-core processors but I'm not sure if the Xeon 7000 series will be compatible. How would I be able to determine if it will work?
