I'm currently using a HP XW9300 with a TYAN S2895 Motheboard, it has a dual AMD opteron 250 @ 2.4, I need to know if I could upgrade it with a dual AMD dual core 880. Both processor are socket 940, in theory AMD family 2XX are for two way processors and 8XX are for 8 processors. So if any want know if these processors would work it would be appreciated.

Thanks

See if info in this link will help:

When you say Dual 880 dual, the 285 or 290 is maybe a less expensive investment, yet as powerful on a dual CPU board:
