I am looking to purchase E5440 with E0 stepping for replacing my Core2Duo E7500 on the existing system. I would like to know if this is a good choice?
Can I boot up the BIOS without a graphics card or is it mandatory to have one for Xeons? (My mobo does have an onboard graphics, will that suffice?)
My current BIOS version is F7(which is the latest available), will I need to add Xeon Microcodes even if I am gonna be using it for basic purposes only?
Will Intel's Stock Cooler be good enough if I am not looking for Overclocking it atleast for now?
Thanks and Regards..
