Hey there, I see you're trying to figure out how to fit those Xeon CPUs into your setup. You have an X5649 and an X5645, and you're considering a few options because the X58 chipset is expensive. You found a prebuilt unit with a W3520 chipset that seems to match your machines. Your question is whether these chips can work together on the same motherboards and if swapping one for another would be safe. Plus, you're curious about using a dual socket board to run both CPUs side by side. It’s a tricky setup, but with the right boards and careful planning, it might be doable. Let me know what you think!
