PowerEdge 1950 Gen II CPU Upgrade recommendations

Question

I have two PowerEdge 1950 Gen II servers with dual E5335 processors (firmware up-to-date) and I would like to ask for recommendations to upgrade the processors with compliant processors that are capable of power on demand from the bios. Also, I would like to run the OS from a SD card and leave the drive bays exclusively for data. I read about Dell's Internal Dual SD Module but from reviews, I am not sure that this is a reliable option. Thought of going external or else replace the DVD drive.

I can't pm for the moment, maybe as I just joined in the community. Can you send me a message so that I could reply back. At least that seems to work ;)

I just got a matched pair Intel Xeon X5365 SLAED 3GHz processors running on my Dell PowerEdge 1950 Gen II.

What I cannot find is the BIOS settings to set the CPUs power management to OS controlled. How can I solve this?
