I just got a really good deal on two Intel Quad Core Xeon L5420 processors and I have access to other deals on bare IBM servers (case+motherboard, no processor/ram/hdd). How can I easily find out what server or motherboard models will be compatible with this processor? I am ideally looking for a dual-processor motherboard and I see that it is socket LGA771.

So I guess the underlying question is, how can I find what IBM motherboards (and servers) have dual socket LGA 771?

Intel Xeon L5420 is known on IBM systems as 44E5133.

This compatibility matrix indicates that at least ibm x3650 supports this processor (as it is provided w/ model 7979)

Ibm says that it has been tested, and so it works. But maybe other server models with similar processors could accept the L5420.
