CPU upgrade in ML-580-G2?

[Seymour Halpern_1]

I have a ML580-G2 with 4 - 1.6GHz processors and 3GB of RAM running Win2k. They are about to install some additional apps and the vendor has suggested adding a CPU and more RAM. So much for software vendor knowledge.

Can this server support the 3.0GHz CPU's?

TIA,

Cmor

There are no ML580G2. If server is DL580G2 then you need Xeon MP X1.60 GHz-1MB Processor Option Kit - P/N 226776-B21 (supports the ProLiant DL580 G2 only). For more info see QuickSpec Changes at http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11372_div/11372_div_Changes.HTML (February 6, 2003)

My replay above is incorrect. sorry :-) You need Intel Xeon MP X3.00 GHz-4MB Processor Option Kit 345323-B21 (NOTE: This processor option kit PN 345323-B21 supports the HP ProLiant ML570 G2 and the HP ProLiant DL580 G2.)
