I found www.velocitytechsolutions.com and they knew which mainboard part numbers would accept the dual core processors that you are looking at and hooked me up with what I needed. Might be worth a try and they do ship international. Good Luck!
I'd rather not purchase the processors until I can confirm that the motherboard supports them as well. From research I have done it would appear early versions of the 1850 do not support the Paxville while later revisions do. My 1850 was manufactured in June 2005 which may be early in the production cycle - not sure. If I contact Dell technical support with the Asset Tag - would they be able to confirm? This server is now out of support.

"This server is now out of support."
Dell server technical support is always free in US/Canada, regardless of warranty status.

I'm based in Dublin, Ireland so not sure if technical support is free.

Thank you veltech for the link! I got in touch with them and they have confirmed that the motherboard I have will not support two dual core Paxvilles.
Thanks for all the feedback.
