I have an Asus motherboard with twin XEON cpu's that appear to be dual core. I want to replace them but when I go to eBay I don't know what to buy.

Processor/Cache

System Bus
533MHz/400MHz system bus

Your help choosing what to buy would be awesome.

Check the CPU model. They could be dual core, they could be single core with hyperthreading. Unless you know waht you have, you might 'upgrade' to something slower....

You should be able to get the CPU model with the lshw command.

I hate it when I don't esplain myself clearly. I don't need to know what the CPU is because I know I want to change it. What I was trying to say is that I don't understand what the motherboard can handle. I want to put dual quad core CPU's in the X5DPL-IGM motherboard.

As far as I knowthere is no quad core socket 603/604 CPUs.

Thank you for y0ur help. I am clearly better off with my dual Opteron dual core 275's with 1MB caches.
