Thanks. I prefer to ask here though, I believe more what I'm told here than what I research on Google.

Kind Regards
 
I was trying to figure it out from the intel site for over half an hour, I found the 5500 easily but the 3500 took a while, and then I saw multiple versions :p

What's a P/N?

Kind Regards

P/N = Part Number, such as W3520, E5520 (base model parts for the Quad and Octad '09's respectively). ;)

You can even just place in the numbers, as in some cases, the letter preceeding it can exist for the same digits. You might have an L5520 and E5520 for example.

Here's a list of what the letters mean:
X = eXtreme Performance (and power)
E = Enterprise (Mainstream)
W = Workstation
L = Low Power
