[Tamikanottammy]

Can I run VMware esxi 6.5 on Xeon e53xx or e54xx CPUs??

https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php No server with those processors supports it. ESXi 5.5 U3 should work.

Yes, you can see a 775 - 771 Xeon running on VMware ESXI 6.5:
Intel Xeon E5450 Quad Core 3.0 Ghz 12 MB
Gigabyte GA-G41M-Combo Socket 775
4GB Kingstong HyperX
10/100/1000 Broadcom NIC (VERY IMPORTANT)

I had a problem with the motherboard, I recognized the processor perfectly but not the VT instruction for virtualization, but on this page it downloads the modified BIOS and it works perfectly.

I leave you links:
