This is good to know as I have just bought a DL585G2 as a development mule & planned to upgrade to quad cores at some point but I may jsut go straight to hex cores now after a bios update.
I am about to do the same thing. I have a G2 with 8216 processors and was contemplating an upgrade to 8300 to double the core count and hopefully recover some memory bandwidth lost by populating all of the memory slots. Now I am thinking that a set of 8435 chips is the best bet to pump more life into the server.
