I want to buy a HP Z600 but it is version 1 (Boot Block Date 01/30/09).
I know this has some limitations, there are sevreal threads about that. But I still can't find all the answers I need.
1. What are all the official CPUs supported with version 1? (optionally with the high performance mod with the heatsink)
(Is the W5590 the CPU with the highest performance?)
2. I read there are some other CPUs supported not officially listed. Which are these and are stable? (again, optionally with the high performance mod with the heatsink)
3. I read there are a few 5600 series Xeon processors that will work in the HP Z600 version 1, but maybe not stable. Which are these? And are there examples of them being stable or not?
I want to use the system with a dual CPU setup. I also saw that some CPUs only work in single cpu configuration and not double cpu configuration. But this could be solved by using the perfomance heatsink mod. Is this right?
