Ivy Xeon?

[jpierson86]

Has anyone added a Xeon CPU to their X51 yet?

From what I have heard, using the newest bios A03 will let the older X51s use Ivy Bridge.

Thinking about getting this CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117286

Thoughts?

I am going with the i7 ivy bridge probably here in another month or so, forgot exactly which one but it's the 319$ one on newegg. I just preordered the nexus tablet so it'll have to wait a lil longer.

Awesome man. Can you overclock CPUs with the X51? If so, do you plan to? M

With the new ivy bridge processors especially the i7, there's really no need to oc. It works so much more efficiently than the sandy Bridge. I don't know of you can even oc anyway, if you bought a processor that can obviously that will but idk if dell locked it in bios or mobo.
