Poweredge 840 Xeon upgrade

Have a PE 840 with a core duo that I would like to upgrade to a  XEON 3050 DUAL-CORE because of VT not being supported with that cheap chip.

Is it possible?
And if so ,any gotchas?

Saw that in the orig ship builds ,all BIOS is a current rev and I see a pulls for 29 bucks on the web.

If this had been an AMD cheap server chip,VT would be no big thing,but Intel is just as bad as M$ when it comes to gotchas'.

I noticed that most AMD multi core chips ship (even the cheap ones) ship with VT enabled.
