Both chips use LGA1366, so compatibility depends on other components. The E5504 supports Xeon E5530 due to shared socket and interface standards. Make sure your motherboard and power supply can handle the combined workload.

The exact motherboard model is important, but it seems there isn’t a board that fits both requirements. You probably need to choose one separately.

So, probably try 2,5504s, let it slip a bit on the clock, and add more memory lanes.
