I've done some research and apparantly there were only 5 dual-core cpu that supported by the server, the Dual Core Xeon 2.8 Ghz which were designed for dual processor configurations, and the Xeon 7020, 7030, 7040 and 7041 cpu which are designed for multiprocessor configuration. Amazing all 5 are still apparantely still available from Intel although obviously you have to get them from a major distributed like Techdata and there probably insanely expensive. There also available on ebay and the 2.8 ghz version is "reasonable", with the cheapest one going for $125. Obviously no point unless you replace both CPU.
Of course talk of replacing CPU might premature since the server has a lot of room to add memory and as photon said memory is cheap, would adding memory be effective?
