I have a Dell PowerEdge SC1420 which supports 2 procs but currently has a single Xeon 3.0 GHz 1MB cache proc installed.  It supports up to 12 GB of RAM if you max out 2GB in each of the 6 slots.  Ideally, this would make for a nice little Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V server if the proc would have supported Intel Virtualization Technology, even though it does support the 64bit OS.  The Xeon that is in there does not support VT!

My question is whether or not I can upgrade the proc to a Xeon Tulsa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeon#7100-series_.22Tulsa.22 which is also a 800 MHz FSB / Socket 604 proc?  This processor does support Intel Virtualization Technology and is 64bit compatible. 

Anyone ever done this or have any guidance on this plan?  If I do this...will the BIOS even recognize the VT upgrade?

Thx,
Gaylen
