Dual Core 3.4GHz Tulsa Xeon 7140M, into what?

Forum CPU & Components : CPUs Dual Core 3.4GHz Tulsa Xeon 7140M, into what?

I picked up some dual core 3.4GHz 7140M Xeon CPUs with 16MB L2 Cache thinking I could plug them into a Dell PE2850. No dice. Apparently these were only made to go into 4+ CPU systems. That's nice and all, but it's overkill for my needs, and I don't use the words overkill to describe processing performance lightly.

What I'm looking for is what can I plug these beasties into that's smaller than a 4xCPU system that require me to run a 220V electric line?

Two CPUs would be plenty for a server/workstation (4 cores, 8 threads), but I can't seem to find a motherboard/server/workstation that ONLY has two 604 sockets that can take these chips.

I even looked into sticking them into a Mac Pro, but seem to struck out there (not being a native Mac speaker).

So do I stick these back on eBay or is there something I can do with them?
