IBM Netfinity 5100 x230 server

One of my processors is shot, so I'm looking to upgrade to PIII Tualatin processors 
in slockets.

According to everything i've been reading, I need a slocket that supports FC PGA2. 
I have a pair that support FC PGA. They are Contender IIs. Using those with auto 
voltage detection and with manual voltage both result a blank screen with no post. 
The scsi raid card still turns on and checks its drives during this however. The 
FC PGA2 slockets are hard to find/expensive. Am I forgetting anything? Would this 
possibly work? Should I look to buy the FC PGA2 slockets? Would the VRM counter the 
attempts to modify the voltage made by the slocket adapter? If anyone needs any documents 
on the server, just ask, I have a few pdfs.

I'm new to the server world and I would really appreciate your help. Thanks!
