I don't have enough money

Hi Guys, I am looking to buy a MacPro, I would like to have the top of the range version, but alas I cant afford one.  What I can afford is the One 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Nehalem” version.  If I buy this, is it possible to 'upgrade' at a later time by sticking another CPU in thus upgrading it to an 8 Core machine. similar to the Two 2.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” (8 cores) machine - or is the logic board different so can't be done ?
Regards
Ump..

I would have advised totally against 2.4GHz anyway.
Refurbished Mac Pro 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
W3670 Upgrade MacRumors
- actually now there is a W3680 $590 that is even better
Intel Xeon W3680 3.33 GHz, SLBV2
Add RAM later, add Gulfown 6-core (and sell the 2.8).
6-core @ highest clock beats the slower MHz and less efficient.
Switch to PC and Windows 7, they really are or can be as solid and such, but you would need Windows versions. All depends on what you need a workstation for.
Going to dual? only if your apps really need more than the 6-core offers.
6-core or 8-core MacPro
Guide 6-core 3.33GHz Westmere
