Nope, but even with PPro (i guess the most flimsy CPU ever released) it's easy to get a set of four matched ones, even when buying them 2 and 2.. Xeons are easier to match than PPro, so it shouldn't be too hard. A lot of Xeonboards also support mixing cache-size (with differing success). -- Andreas D.
