My board is nearly 10 years old. In the Intel pages, there is one which lists Server Products, and for the SE7501HG2 there is a list of "Supported processors".
Intel� Server Board SE7501HG2 — Supported processors
To my big surprise I find brand-new Xeons in that list, e.g. under 3.00 GHz the E5-1607 v2.
Q.: is it really possible to upgrade that old board to a brand new Xeon?
Should the answer be yes, that would really please me.
Regards,
Ch
