The motherboard comes with two LGA-771 sockets that support

Dual-Core Intel

Xeon™ processors with 1333/1066/667 MHz Front Side

Bus (FSB). Dual-core processors contain two physical CPU cores to meet

demands for more powerful processing. Intel

Xeon™ processors

incorporate the Intel

Hyper-Threading Technology and Extended Memory

64-bit Technology (EM64T). The EM64T enables the support for 64-bit

operation system, such as 64-bit Windows

and Linux. See page 2-11 for

details.

FB-DIMM memory support

This motherboard supports fully buffered DIMMs (FB-DIMMs), the latest

memory solution that extends memory capacity and provide high-speed,

high-density system memory peformance. FB-DIMMs use Advanced Memory

Buffer chips that transmit signals between the memory modules and

controllers with improved signal integrity and reduced errors. See page

2-16 for details.
