Hi everyone =)

I have one supermicro x7dal-e board with only one X5450 processor.

Is it possible to add a E5430 and work at 2.66GHz?

many thanx in advance

Generally you can not mix different models of CPU in same system, even if all base specs are even or very close. Most boards will not pass POST.
