The CPU failing is very, very rare.
We've only replaced 1 bad CPU.

I noticed that on the new dual socket 1366 server type motherboards there are two banks of RAM. Does this mean that if I have 72GB of RAM installed that Windows will only allow 36GB per processor or will one processor have access to all 72GB?

If there are two memory banks each will be wired to a CPU slot.
A Dual socket board will be configured with two CPU systems that includes memory slots associated to each socket.

Although the MSI MS-7184 may take a faster CPU, you may not be able to upgrade a HP computer, unless you can change CPU frequency and multiplier in the BIOS.

I've installed lm-sensors and ran sensors-detect successfully. It edited my /etc/modules so the needed modules ( lm85 , i2c-i801 and coretemp ) would get loaded during startup.
I added also those nice applets to my upper Gnome panel.

The beeps are they in a pattern at all? Or does it just beep a few times and shut down the machine?
