I found that both of those will work in dual config on that mother board The E5520 would be the best but would go over your budget.

thanks...XEON X5550 VS {DUAL} XEON E5520. WHICH OF THOSE WILL BE THE WINNER IN PERFORMANCE.
Yeah definitely. That would be 8 cores and 16 threads at 2.26GHz as opposed to 4 cores and 8 threads at 2.66GHz. It doesn't support DDR3 1333 or higher though. Not a big issue.

Not to much performance gains between 1333 and 1600 memory at all.
