Considering your setup, you might want to evaluate the upgrade options carefully. Your current configuration has 2x Xeon E5504 with 4 cores/4 threads and 64GB RAM, which seems a bit outdated. The X5650s offer better performance at around 6 cores/12 threads for about 2.6GHz, making them a solid choice for your needs. If you're looking to keep costs low, the X5690 is an option but it's significantly more expensive. Checking for other models that balance performance and price could be worthwhile.

Unless you require additional processing power, I wouldn't alter it. The R610 remains sensitive to recent updates and restarts, which could worsen the situation.

I’m going to claim I require it even though I don’t. I just experiment with it during my downtime.

When working on small projects, feel free to experiment—it’s okay if it’s not essential. Keep in mind the BIOS could have limitations. In the unlikely event you end up with a few decorative items, that’s still fine.
