I have a Z420 now but would like to upgrade to a Z820 due to some of my software requirements. Can I use the same CPU and Memory chips in the Z820 from my Z420? I currently have an E5-2680 2.7 mhz 8 core now in the 420.
Thanks
****corrected* I meant Z820 not Z840 ... sorry for the confusion... I corrected the text above****

no, nothing will transfer over except for the hard drives if going from z420 to z840
yes, ram/2600 cpu's will xfer if going from z420 to z820
your post in not clear as you mention both z840 and z820
z420 ddr3 ram / z840 ddr4 ram
cpu's z420 cpu-e5-1600/2600 series ("v2" is ivy bridge) no support for v3/v4 cpu's
z840 v3 and v4 cpu's "Haswell" not backwards compatible with v2 cpu's
