I purchased a 4000R from Ubid and have been using it in the rack as a web server for a few months now. I am very happy with the system, but want to upgrade the CPU's. I have seen several threads about this, but none with any answers. So, I will try a new thread.

1. In order to add an additional CPU to the system, is the purchase of a VRM required? If so, where can I purchase this part?

2. Does anyone know what the multiplier limit is on this system? Or, what is the fastest CPU I can upgrade to, and maintain compatibility?

3. Is there anyway to find a service manual on this machine? I know IBM doesn't support end user upgrades, but surely the specs for this box exist, and chipset limitations are published?

TIA for any help.
