Dual Processor: E5335 SL9YK compatible with SLAEK?

[idata]

I have a workstation with a Intel S5000XVN motherboard. It has a single E5333 processor sSpec SL9YK. I would like to buy a second processor and the vendor offered me a E5335 sSpec SLAEK. Will they work together?

Thanks

Hello,

It is not advisable to use two different cpus, or not even 2 same cpus with different steppings revision or sl number.

See the TPS.
