The XPDFK board should be fine. 3ghz processor in earlier boxes is likely the W3550 Bloomfield. Older BIOS may limit your CPU selection. Use the Bloomfield and update to the latest BIOS, Intel chipset driver, and then you will be able to run Westmere no problem. Works for me.Back again . Yesterday was strange . I found a shop ( the size of an average bathroom ) in probably the last place I would have expected it and completely by accident . Now this shop has around 15 T3500 units and clean , but only have the XPDFK motherboards fitted ( so the owner says , but has not checked - I had to open one to find out , and to check what "3ghz processor" was installed ! It may be that there are 09KPNVs ( maybe a decent processor ? ) in there , but convincing the shop owner to open them up is going to be an un-winnable battle ( he says they are the same ) .
Is this motherboard useable ? He wants a gouging $94 for the MB or $188 for the complete unit ( 4gb , 500gb and front card reader) , anyone using these older boards with no problems ??

You should be looking for RDIMM (Registered memory) Low Density which will almost always be ECC. "DDR31333 ECC RDIMM . You should get at least 3 matching modules for each CPU to take advantage of Triple Channel mode. A lot of the confusion is because it will support all kinds of non optimum configurations such as Dual Channel, and Compatability Mode. But DDR3 1333 RDIMM 3 channel is as good as it gets. Triple Channel means sets of 3 modules, not 3 sets of 2 modules. Because RAM modules double in capacity with each size increase, and you need 6 modules for best performance 6x4GB=24 GB, or 6x8GB=48GB.
New 8GB are under $30 each. You might save some money by using the modules it came with. You would need to upgrade to 24GB first for 3 channel, and then double that later.

It has RAID0 support in the BIOS, and
SAS full duplex SCSI also. The first step is to read the service manual. There isn't much you can't do with that. 2x RAID 0 SSDs will equal SATA3. 3x RAID0 is also an option.

Seems like a wise trade.Money saved by going to RDIMM more than paid for the T5500 board.
About the same if you look at them.Don’t know about the T7400/7500.

Since i'm the instigator of the Throttlestop overclocking thread I might mention that the T7400 chipset supports 400fsb CPUs which opens the door to a BSEL pinmod overclock. I tried to buy one for this, but someone locally is buying all of them up. So all I have is a pair of X5470s which I will work off on the Optiplex 380s which accepts the Xeon mod. With classic BSEL, and VID pinmods a dual CPU overclock seems possible. Basically a budget Skulltrail clone..
