PWS 690 - Adding Second Processor
We have a PSW 690 with the stock Intel 1.6 Xeon (5110) Dual Core processor in it. We'd like to add another processor. Used to, it seemed I remember needing to matching stepping number and other "version" specifics for dual processors. Is this still true or can I just buy a new 5110?
What about cooling. I haven't looked, but do I need a particular heatsink for use with the 690 or is it a stock Intel heatsink?
Thanks guys!

WAIT! While reading up on heatsinks I came across a post that stated for dual processor machines you have to match the SL codes.
Is this true? Dell? Anyone? I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that the SL code for the Retail 5110 I just bought matches the installed one in my PWS 690.
Grrr... :smileymad:

Okay, you do still have to match the processor stepping so no... you cannot just go buy another proc. willy-nilly.
So now... anyone got an sSpec SLAGE they wanna sell me or does anyone wanna buy an SLAGE so I can find a match for my SL9RZ?
