Dual Xeon Tower Workstation
The Dell Precision T5500 is a dual-processor tower workstation built around two Intel Xeon X5670 six-core CPUs running at 2.93 GHz. Together they provide twelve cores with Hyper-Threading support and 12 MB of cache memory. The system ships with 4 GB of DDR3 memory installed across nine available DIMM slots.
Suitable for legacy compute tasks
This workstation suits users maintaining older engineering applications or render pipelines that rely on the LGA 1366 platform and DDR3 memory architecture. Buyers who need modern instruction-set extensions, higher single-thread performance, or contemporary memory standards should look at a different system.
Memory ceiling of 72 GB
The motherboard and optional second-processor riser card combine for a maximum supported memory capacity of 72 GB across nine DDR3 slots. This limit determines whether the workstation can accommodate your dataset or virtual-machine workloads.

Questions about this item
How do I install the second processor riser card to use all 9 DIMM slots?
Fit the riser card into its dedicated motherboard connector, then seat the second Xeon X5670 into the riser socket; the three extra DIMM slots on the riser only become active after the second CPU is installed.
Which memory modules will I need when expanding beyond the installed 4GB?
Use DDR3 registered ECC DIMMs; the board accepts up to 72GB total across the 9 slots when both X5670 processors are present.
What is the practical storage ceiling with the internal drive bays?
The system supports up to 6TB of SATA hard drives, so the 250GB drive supplied can be supplemented or replaced with larger 7.2K SATA disks within that limit.
