HP ProLiant ML150 G6 - CPU Upgrade

[CMTech]

Hi guys,

I currently have a HP ProLiant ML150 G6 with a dual core E5502 CPU installed in it.

I am looking at two options here, either put in another E5502 CPU into the second CPU slot or upgrade the current CPU to one of the quad core processors in the list below. 

Firstly is that list the correct CPU list for my server?

Secondly are there any issues with putting in a second E5502 dual core CPU into the server?

Would I be better off removing the current CPU and upgrading it with one of the quad core CPU's?

What are your recommendations?

If you don't plan on adding more memory either, I would go for replace the current cpu for a quadcore one.

If you want to add more memory too, I would add a second cpu.
