Still no info from Dell :( .... I might try this today or tomorrow.
* I just hope Chris or someone from Dell (Bruce maybe?) Would chime in !!!
If it supports the new procs, DELL might have just added a bit more life to the 720s.... It's the least they can do for the customers who have forked over a few dollars for a higher end machine.

Just my luck, I just sold my Q9450 after it didn't work with A05.... Can someone test to see if the new firmware supports the Yorkfield chips???
Thanks!
