Well, I'm looking to get a new CPU to beef this thing up. Looks like the cost is about $200 for a good 3.3GHz Xeon to go in this server. Interestingly enough, it's an odd socket, LGA771 rather than LGA775.

Just one way to make the chips and support products cost more for commercial products. Since RAM is good on this system but the CPU is the bottleneck it's what I'm going to focus on getting beefed up.

I don't know when I'm going to be able to do this update though because I've just quit my job. On the flip side I will be starting a new one, but am going to be taking some time off in between. So I don't know how fast I'll get the cash together to get the chip. It is in my plans though.
