vic-20 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hi, I have a Dell Precision Workstation 650, currently running two Xeon 3.2ghz's, and I just found out that quad core Socket 604 processors exist. Would my computer be able to use two of these, or am I stuck with single core?

Tripredacus Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Dell spec sheet says the 650 can use this: . . . .Up to two Intel® Xeon™ processors with 533MHz front side buhttp://www.dell.com/downloads/us/products/precn/ws650_spec.pdf Ark shows that CPU uses 1066MHz FSB... http://ark.intel.com/products/30795/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E7340-8M-Cache-2_40-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB So I couldn't find a list of compatible processors for that model. On Dell's site that might be possible but it requires a service tag. http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/precision-650/configuration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Check for BIOS updates from Dell, it most-likely will tell what quad-core CPUs are compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
