Dual and Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor(s)
• Improves performance and headroom, and provides scalability and system redundancy with multiple virtual applications - Up to 8 physical cores per node.

Eight fully buffered 533/667MHz DIMMs
• Increased capacity and performance

Three PCI Express* slots
• Provides expansion headroom for the future

Integrated server management
• Helps lower costs by improving baseline manageability

Up to six SATA 3Gb/s ports
• Supporting RAID 0, 1, 10 with optional Intel® RAID Activation Key for hardware RAID 5.

Optional 4-port SAS
• Supports next-generation enterprise class SAS drives or lower cost SATA drives

Dual Gb Ethernet
• Increases network performance, with lower processor overhead with Intel® Advanced I/O Technology.

1333MHz, and now 1600MHz system bus capability.
• Increased bus bandwidth (100% greater than 677 [1333] and 800MHz [1600]) and increased system bandwidth.

PCI Express* I/O
• Serial I/O technology provides a direct connection between the MCH chipset and PCI Express* component/adapters with bandwidth up to 4 GB/second on each PCI Express x8 interface.

• PCI Express offers higher bandwidth, lower latency and fewer I/O bottlenecks than PCI-X
