Dual CPU - Xeon

[hackalive]

So I have a dual CPU board and going to use Xeon E5 family CPUs.

Now I know I need them to have the same stepping, but do they also need to be from the same batch?

Obviously you can't get the same serial number.

Cheers in advance.

As long as they are the same type thats all you need

ie: two of e5-2687

+1.

Same type is all thats required.

okay so step, batch etc are of no relevance as long as they are the same model e.g., E5-2687W

That is correct.
