1.3.1 Product highlights
Latest processor technology
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 2-9 for details.
Intel ® 5000V and Intel ® 6321ESB chipset
The Intel ® 5000V Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the Intel ® 6321ESB provide
the vital interfaces for the motherboard.
The MCH provides the processor, dual-channel FB-DIMM memory support, and
PCI Express interfaces. The Intel ® 6321ESB is a new generation server class I/O
controller hub that provides the interface for PCI 2.3, PCI Express, and PCIX.
Intel ® EM64T
The motherboard supports Intel ® processors with the Intel ® EM64T (Extended
Memory 64 Technology). The Intel ® EM64T feature allows your computer to run on
64-bit operating systems and access larger amounts of system memory for faster
and more efficient computing.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep ® Technology (EIST)
The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep ® Technology (EIST) intelligently manages the
CPU resources by automatically adjusting the CPU voltage and core frequency
depending on the CPU loading and system speed or power requirement.
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 (AMB)
chips that transmit signals between the memory modules and controllers with
improved signal integrity and reduced errors. See page 2-14 for details.
