Hi, looking at Dell and Intel documentation it seems that this model has an 800 Mhz bus and is unlikely to support Dual Core processors. I suspect these were first used in the 490/690 Precision. I would look at processors in the same series as already fitted to the WS.
The 470 will only take a dual core Xeon (SL8MA) if you have version 0XC838 off the motherboard and version A07 of the BIOS. Been there, done that. Running two of them. :emotion-2:
