Ok, the heatsink with a mix of copper and aluminum will get the job done.

About the BIOS, I'm not sure. I know your board is more than capable of hosting a 6000+, but I have no idea if 2.2.2 will have the necessary microcode. There's no mention of BIOS version 2.2.2 on Dell's download page for the 740, only 1.2.2 and 2.2.7. I think you'll be OK since 2.2.7 only makes changes to the Dell-specific asset tag which doesn't affect CPU support at all. The difference in performance between the 6000+ and 5050e is about 20% according to CPU World.

It doesn't look cheap, it's a big unit of copper tubing, aluminum, etc. Before upgrading the Bios to 2.2.7, what will happen when booting the computer, if I install the 6000 with the 2.2.2 Bios (1st: All power off, unplug power cord).

Will it work ok or will there be an incompatibilty present, messages, etc. I read somewhere that this board, 0PY127, and case can handle cooling the 89 watt cpu ok ...

L2-Cache: 5050: 2 × 512 kB 2.6 ghz Ebay: $10 -- Windsor 6000 F3: 2 x 1024 KB 3.0 ghz, already got off ebay: $25 ... How much difference will the extra 512 kb cahe and .4 ghz be ...

Athlon x2: Briabane 5600B 2.9GHz, g2, 65nm, 2 x 512 kb, 1.1 - 1.35 V - 65 watt, Ebay: $35 - Athlon 64 X2: Brisbane-ee - 5600+: 2.9 ghz 1.325V-1.375V 65 watt - 6000+: 3.1 ghz 1.1V-1.40V 89 watt.
