    We have SUN E280 server for 4 years. The CPU speed is 750 Mhz. I know E280
    is our of SUN production line. Due to the budget issue we can NOT buy brand
    new server, we plan to upgrade CPU to higher speed. Based on what I knew,
    E280 support up to 2 X 1.2 GHZ. My question are:

    1. Will my E280 system board compatible to 1.2 Ghz CPU?

    2. which SUN O.S. compatible to 1.2 Ghz (e.g. solaris 8 2/04)?

    3. Any one have 1.2Ghz on E280 and your experience on it?

    4. Is it easy to replace? Can I do by myself?

    5. what is part number? (I search on SUN store and can NOT find it)

    Thanks.
