You can install both processors on your existing motherboard, but ensure they fit the duel socket design. The R510 supports dual processors, so adding the Xeon x5650 should work as long as the board’s layout accommodates them. Just verify compatibility with your motherboard model.

I don't believe that's feasible. Look for another x5660.

You need matching x5660 units when using dual CPUs, and make sure to install Windows 10 Pro for optimal performance.
