Upgrading Dell with 5000X Chipset from E5320

1,527 Views

I currently have a Dell Precision 490 running a quad core Xeon E5320 on the 5000X Chipset. I would like to upgrade this to eight cores and realise I could add another E5320, move to two E5345 or X5355 processors as that's what the machines originally came with. I was wondering, however, if I have to restrict myself to these three processors or can I use any Xeon 5000 processor?

Thank you.
