I'm shopping around for an additional processor for a Dell Power Edge 2500 server. Currently it has a single processor, but I'm pretty sure it can take another. My question is what is the best p3 that the motherboard can support?

I believe that there is a 1ghz 133mhz fsb coppermine in the system, but that can be replaced if dual of whatever the best the motherboard can use is better than dual 1ghz.
 
It looks to me that you can either just put in a 2nd coppermine processor and a VRM identical to the one you have, or get two new VRM's and a pair of Tualatin processors.

VRM's are voltage regulator moduals (sp?) and because coppermines and tualatins (all P3's faster than 1ghz) use different voltages, you would need the correct VRM for the faster processor.
