You have a Precision T3500 and need to upgrade its CPU. The service manual lists Intel Xeon 3500 Series and Xeon 5500 Series as compatible options with LGA 1366 socket. Based on this, the fastest compatible processor would likely be an Intel Xeon 5500 Series model.

It might not be the quickest processor you install, but I use a Xeon X5675 in my Precision T3500. I believe it offers a solid mix of cost, energy use, heat management, and speed. The built-in heatsink keeps things cool without extra fans, and the results are impressive.
