Xeons designed for two workstations (ThinkStation D30)
I do know some but can always learn more. The s30 supporting e5 46 chips is documented but I could almost find nothing from the d30 and found a mixed bag of results thus opting for my response. I know of the e4610 and 4620 normally being surefire supported cpu's even if they are off the list but the rest is pretty much up to whatever is and isnt bios locked. It's good that the e5 46 series is available but as far as I can see the regular e5 26 series seems to be the better value for money in terms of performance and single core performance. Also helped by more cache. So I'd opt for the higher clocked 8 cores or see if a pair of 2690v2 or 2695v2 can be found for cheap. Another good value one is the e5 2670 v2 which is often overlooked.
