530mt and sl79v!
I currently have a single 2g Xeon prestonia. I would like to know if I could replace that with
2 SL79V's. I could get them very cheap. would it even be worth it? by cheap I mean about 50 bucks a peice. I think they sell for about 4 grand! what VRMs would I use if it can be done?

The postings indicate that existing heat-sinks & voltage regulators from the 2.0 GHz processors were used without any heat, or voltage issues. You may want to search the site for the various postings regarding upgrade to 3.0 GHz Prestonia.

Update from 2011 :), am still running my 530 mt with dual sl79v and 4 GB of pc800 with riser cards :)
Windows 7 runs super fast and I play all modern games on HD resolution (1920x1080) due to ATI who back released a fully blown 3 series card (256 bit mem) for AGP
in short... this machines has paid for itself
My next update is a pci-x sas card for an ssd main drive (128gb ssd) and two 15k sas disks in raid 0 for data
And if gaming is not possible anymore I will upgrade to another dell dual socket wokstation
Dell.... thanks for buiding this machines as it is in 2001 it is now 10 years later and it performs perefectly nice for modern day internet, gaming, bussiness goals
