xw8200 Workstation processor upgrade

Hello world! I recently acquired a workstation xw8200. I know its old technology, but it works pretty well actually, even with win7. However, I expect the squeek little more life out of it as a secondary computer. The first thing I want to do is max on the processors. I think that it supports Irwindale (as of the announced Nocona) CPUs. But I can't find confirmation of this or a list of compatible processors anywhere. These old Xeons are about $10-15/cpu "this auction site."

Does anyone have an idea if 3.8 GHz Irwindales are compatible? I see SL7ZB and widely available SL8P2 but cannot find confirmation of compatibility.

Thank you!

Hello:

Yes to your first question.  The BIOS updates are cumulative.

I agree with your assumption, but you never know for sure one way or the other until you install it.

  • HP Z200: Z200 Workstation processor Upgrade - having problems

    Hello

    I have a workstation Z200 has been great without any problem. It currently has the i5-660 processor installed.  A week ago, I ordered a processor Xeon X 3470 online... Which is one of the processors tested and compatible with the Z200.

    Told that the processor has been tested by a working machine and no problem.

    Received today the processor.

    So I turned off the machine, unplugged everything. Removed the old processor. Clean the radiator with the thermal compound remover. Assured that the head of the processor was impeccable.  Inspect all connection on the processor and the power outlet.  Everything checked out great.  Installed the processor, apply the thermal paste. Installed the heatsink.

    Plug everything back in and press the power button... Power led goes blue for 2 seconds... Then turns red and blurts out 5 beeps in 1 second burst. Then start again...

    I tried swapping and relocation of the ram, the same question.  I removed the video card and used the edge. same question. I turned off the unit, pulled out all the ram left it unplugged for some time, reset the cmos. Returned later plugged it all back in and still beeps.

    Tried to put in place the processor and still beeps...

    I took out the processor, new installed the old and runs like a champ!

    Any ideas on what could be the problem?

    Given that you were the only kind enough to respond.  I wanted to return my staus update for you...

    I returned this processor...

    I bought a new one and the system boots without problem!

    Same CPU type and age and no problem!

    I have messaged the seller of the business of first transformation on the back. He reported that the processor did not work for him as well...

    The Xeon I upgraded just runs circles around the i5 in what I got here!  The machine is so much faster in the games and the process!  I'm a fan of Xeon now!

    So if you ever see someone point out simliar like my past issues... Hopfully, this helps you!

  • Can I upgrade my HP xw8200 Workstation to use windows 7?

    Can I upgrade my HP xw8200 Workstation to use windows 7?

    Hello:

    You should be able to run W7 64-bit on your PC, since Vista business is the operating system recommended by HP. normally if a PC can run Vista, it can work in W7.

    For a nice report of its ability to run W7, download and run the Advisor of W7 upgrade on the link below. Connect all devices to your PC, so it will analyze these devices as well as for the ability of W7.

    What would be the best processor upgrade for my

    Compaq Presario SR5412NL desktop PC

    It's running windows vista 32 bit, I'll upgrade my memory to 4 GB.

    I use the most for Photoshop/Illustrator pc it seems to slow my pc down when I use these programs simultaneous.

    And would it be another option to run these programs from an ssd instead of the HD that make a difference?

    You are the very welcome, Suzan.

    I would say that the safe bet for the best processor the E7400.

    Your PC was introduced in March 2008.

    I fear the E7500 and E7600 that came out in 2009, will not be managed because I can't update the BIOS of your PC that adds support for the latest processors.

  • Processor upgrade questions

    Hi all.

    (For a year or two), I have the HP Pavilion p7-1235 with is provided with processor A8-5500 and 7560 integrated graphics. I intend to add a discrete GPU to 7750 and a 500 Watt power supply. I use this desktop computer for everyday tasks, surf the web, etc. But I also play casual games on Steam. I also have the Sims 3 (base game) is installed.  The last time I played this game, fifiteen minutes at the level of the fan (I guess CPU) kicking on.  It also happened when I tried Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.

    Now I don't know if it of because the cpu is dusty or cannot handle these 2 games. According to the technical specifications of HP, I know I can upgrade the processor to an A10-5700 or A10 - 5800 k? It would give me better performance game-wise? Or just do the upgrade to graphical power and power would be sufficient? Also, when a processor upgrade, would I have to mess with the BIOS?

    http://h20565.www2.HP.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.page/public/KB/docDisplay/?sp4ts.Oid=5187022&SPF...

    Set to upgrade to an A10-5700 will provide that almost no improvement in the CPU of the tasks not related. Upgrading an A10 - 5800K provide a 5% improvement in CPU related tasks. Your best bet is too make sure all dirt and dust is collected inside the case, fans and heat sinks. Then install the GPU and PSU upgrades and monitor your computer for the fan kicks at the top. With the GPU load moved to the discreet graphics card, the APU (UC) should be less stressed.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • p6654y: processor upgrade

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion p6654y 6000 Series.  I wanted to upgrade the image to 6 core processor...

    I understand that AMD Phenom II X 6 Six-Core (core Thuban) 10xxT is what the list says for updates, but I found a 6 processor that I wondered if it would work. It is not this but Thuban.

    (AMD Phenom II X 6 1090 t. Black Edition 3.2GHz/3.6GHz Turbo Six Core HDT90ZFBK6DGR)

    The specs are exactly the same, but it isn't Thuban.

    I've already updated the power supply to a 400 Watt power supply. Which wouldn't be a problem.

    Hello

    Looking at two documents, you can see that they are not on the same date. Depending on when, so very difficult to say. HP had some series that could go for a few years. HP now put G0, G1, G2, and these 'generations' lives a little easier.

    Given that the two documents are for G1, this may be true, and you must upgate BIOS.

    Kind regards.

  • Dimension 4700 choice of processor upgrade

    Hi all

    Need some advice on the processor upgrade choices for a Dimension 4700 with a Pentium 4. I mainly use this machine to launch Cubase 4.5, and an Emu Proteus system and I am running up to the limit of my titles and sampling. I can't go further than 12 titles and which includes three tracks 48 k samples simultaneously. It seems incredible, but it is not enough good my goals of recording. It seems that what I really need, is a Quad-Core or even an I7. On my budget, it will not happen. My budget is $ 400.00 and it grows. I realize that maybe these specifications do not support upgrading to even a Dual-Core, and even if I could how much difference I would hear and experience in Cubase and Proteus fact?

    What I would really like to get out of this system is a machine of 24 tracks with the same 48 k samples I need for serious recording, I'd settle for 8 simultaneous samples per song as well as 24 tracks.  Basically, it would be normal 16 pieces of Cubase VST over 8 tracks samples of Proteus.  What would rock!

    If a serious CPU upgrade is plausible, should I upgrade my CPU cooling fan and XP Home Pro? Is my only option a faster Pentium 4?
