also keep in mind if you have the 6 DIMM version of the Z400 you can go up to a W3690 also HP offers a liquid cooling solution for the Z400

Hey, whats up dude, ..........

Yeah, I read here somewheres you tap f10  before windows log on , then in bios if its dated before/after 2009...yadda yadda, you can buy a W3690 6 core...etc..etc... & also what your saying w/liq'kooled. (Thanks for the links) And yes, I have 6 mem slots w/W3530. Was the last "W" series made th W3530

according to ARK.

The best fastest Xeon made are still "W" core'series. Even today pound for pound even w/the E5 Series Xeons, the "W" series in 2009/'10 etc...  are still #1 in many related areas.   

u b kool dude,

Dave

You listed graphics cards, however when searching for these graphics cards several come up with that description. The Nvidia Quadro 5000 2.5gb graphics card. Do you have an actual model# etc. to help narrow down which one I should actually purchase for this unit?
