Hi,

X33xx xeons work with this board.... Is there a modded bios that would enable those x54xx to work too? ?

Hi, got a Dell XPS 420 motherboard and am currently using a Xeon X3363. I checked and it seems that Xeon X5*** isn't compatible with X38 (chipset for the XPS 420) because of a flag in certain BIOSs caused by the multi-proc support on the 5*** CPUs. Does anyone have experience using those CPUs on this board, or X38 in general? And would it be possible to mod the BIOS to add support for them? Thanks
No way.
