Intel® Xeon™ Processor with 512 KB L2 Cache System Compatibility Guidelines
Xeon processor with 512 KB L2 cache operates at its tested frequency at initial power-on.

speed processor is added to a system that contains a lower frequency processor, the
system BIOS is able to effect the change in the core to system bus ratio.
