I found a cheap quad core Xeon E5506 processor on ebay and this decent-priced HP ProLiant motherboard (HP ProLiant DL380 G7 Dual Xeon Socket 1366 / LGA1366 Motherboard 599038-001) on ebay. I noticed that it has two processor sockets. Can I grab two of the aforementioned processors to populate them in the motherboard's two CPU sockets? Would this give me a total of 8 cores in one system?
Sorry for the dumb question but I don't know much about multiple CPU's in one system. Also how would I go about the ram? I already have 8gb of DDR3 ram and an HDD and SSD with a 300 watt Silverstone power supply and a GTX 1050Ti.
Could I use the rest of those components with that motherboard and two CPU's? I need a temporary CPU until I upgrade to either Ryzen or Coffee-Lake but I Don't have enough funds at the moment.
I was going to get an i3 4130 for my LGA 1150 socket but then I noticed this combo for around the same price and I only want to spend around 40-50 pounds on a CPU.
Would using a dual Xeon system be a good idea? It is only for a gaming PC to run Assassin's Creed: Origins and Battlefield 1 among a few other games like Minecraft and stuff. Any thoughts on this odd build? Or should I just get one Xeon CPU and a cheap motherboard and then sell them when I upgrade?
Many thanks in advance!!
