I was wondering if it were possible to upgrade an Opteron 2356, to an Opteron 8439SE? Both can use Socket F(r2/Fr5/Fr6), but I'm a little nervous about the quad core to hex core move....

Thank you in advance.

For hardware compatibility, you should check with the server vendor (or motherboard vendor if this is an assembled computer).

For O.S. support, there shouldn't be any problem: all modern OSes can handle a change in the number of CPUs/cores without any issue.
