Dell Precision 490 CPU upgrade help

Hello everybody!

Anyone can help me with this question?

I recently bought an used workstation Precision 490.

Motherboard model is 0F9382 rev. A00

The installed CPU is one Xeon 5160

Since I haven't found any information about this motherboard model on internet, anyone know if it support dual Intel Xeon X5355 (Quad core, 8 MB, 2.66 GHz)?

Thank you in advance for your kind help

Regards

Ivan

 If the board can handle 120W without issue then Bios may need changing.  5300 series is listed as working.  Bios update to the A00 or A01 version is advised BEFORE changing cpu.

The Clovertown is 120W

Most of the other parameters are similar.

The INTEL  5000x  chipset is why.
