Hi,

I'm running a dual processor capable Tyan Tempest 5000i board with a single xeon 5160 1333 woodcrest at the moment ans the time has come to spend out on another processor for the board. I know a place selling HP parts and can get a HP woodcrest 5160 for a good price. I'm wondering, is there a difference between the standard xeon and the HP boxed one?

I have the proper heatsink for the extra processor, It is just the chip I'm in need of.... Any help greatly appreciated,....

Cheers

There's no difference between a HP boxed, Intel boxed, or OEM version of the chip. However, although I'm not sure about HP boxed, OEM version of the CPU usually have lower warranty (1 yr vs. 3 yrs) compared to Intel boxed. You should make sure before you make the purchase.

Other than that, and with the absence of heatsink, they're the same.

For twin CPU they have to be the same stepping! CPU-Z will tell you what you have!
