tbh, your running 2 cpus in close space so you might see a lil higher temp. but volts on Xeon are low so then again you may see better temps.

X5650 could likely do your clock with little tweaking, but the better you tweak it the better your payoff... (lower volts & temps)
thanks for the answer

as for the stepping, how do i know if i get the new one ?
