    I just acquired a Dell Precision T7600 and I want to tweak it. Here are my Current Specs:

    Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

    CPU: Intel Xeon E5 2620 @ 2.00GHz (2 Processors)

    RAM: 64.0GB DDR3 @ 664MHz

    Motherboard: Dell Inc. 082WXT

    Graphics 3071MB NVIDIA Quadro K4000

    Storage: 1769GB Intel Raid 0 Volume SCSI Disk Device (2 1TB Drives)
    3726GB Western Digital WD My Book 25EE USB Device (External)

    Optical Drive: HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GT80N

    Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio


    Now I'm wondering since this system has 2 processors How do I set the L2 and L3 Cache? Each Processor has a 1.5MB L2 Cache and a 15MB L3 Cache. Is there a way to set the cache for each processor?

    I know the video card is old and needs upgrading. Any suggestions for a better card that doesn't require me to spend a large amount of money?

    There is a slot for a 3.5 Inch ODD and I though about adding a BD-ROM drive, but i'm wondering if that is worth it.

    Any advice on how to take this system to the next level?
