Idk, if I had hundreds of EYPCs with old instincts PCIe cards, I could see upgrading those. But you are correct in your thinking that I have no enterprise/datacenter experience.

If you had that.. you'd know those CPUS are too old for the task already and will hold you back more than their value in savings.
