Xeon or q6600.9***?

Question

Intel

Hi everybody!
I decided to update my old hospital here. On the E7500 processor (overclocked to 3.5 Ghz), there used to be an e6500.
Asus p5kpl am motherboard.
GT 630 video card. 1Gb
3 GB RAM. I want to upgrade to 4 GB.
I know that 775 is already outdated. But I still want to prolong the life of my friend ...
And I came across Xeons supposedly converted into Q versions.
For example.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 (xeon E5450).
Is it really so?
If you buy a server percent and put it in your home computer, will it work?!
I noticed that the video card is not loaded at 100%, but only at 45-50. And the Processor shamelessly work at the maximum frequency and at 100%.
Will replacing the processor solve this problem?

Answer 1

Asus p5kpl am: Support for processor types - Intel Pentium 4 5xx/6xx series, Celeron 4x0, Celeron Dual Core E1x00, Pentium D 8xx/9xx, Pentium Dual Core E2xx0/E5x00, Core 2 Duo E4x00/E6xx0/E7x00/E8xx0, Core 2 Extreme X6800/QX6x00/QX6x50/QX9x50, Core 2 Quad Q6x00/Q9xx0
And whether this solves your problem depends on the sofa.

Answer 2

you will spend more time and effort on the upgrade, but in the end you will get not such a strong increase. Better sell your good and buy a used i5, the increase will be higher, and for the money it’s not very expensive
