XW6200 ultimate upgrade help?

[iSam24]

Hi guys I am going to max out my XW6200 I currently have one 3.6ghz CPU and I am going to upgrade it to two 3.8 ghz Xeon irnwindale CPU s (do they support multi threading?) just a quick question regarding the CPU itself as long as it is a socket 604 and 2mb cache and 800mhz bus does it have to be a HP cetified part or can I use other parts? Also does any one have any good ideas for a GPU I will be running windows 7/8 and adobe design suite and expression design. Thanks a lot guys ))

Intel Xeon EM64T 3.8 Irwindale 3.8GHz Socket 604 does support hyperthreading!

Hi, did you manage to find out if the Irwindale chips work? Are you now on Windows 8?

did it work, did you manage to get Windows 8 running properly on your xw6200?
