B. The Intel 5000X Chipset (*for the X7DGT/X7DGT-INF)
Built upon the functionality and the capability of the 5000X (Greencreek) chipset,
the X7DGT/X7DGT-INF motherboard provides the performance and feature set
required for dual processor-based servers with confi guration options optimized
for communications, presentation, storage, computation or database applications.
The 5000X chipset supports single or dual Xeon 64-bit dual core processor with
front side bus speeds of up to 1333 MHz. The chipset consists of the 5000X
Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the Enterprise South Bridge 2 (ESB2).
The 5000X MCH chipset is designed for symmetric multiprocessing across two
independent front side bus interfaces. Each front side bus uses a 64-bit wide,
1333 MHz data bus that transfers data at 10.7 GB/sec. The MCH chipset connects
up to 8 Fully Buffered DIMM modules, providing a total of 32.0 GB/s for DDR2
667/533 memory. The MCH chipset also provides one x8 PCI-Express and one
x4 ESI interface to the ESB2. In addition, the 5000X chipset offers a wide range
of RAS features, including memory interface ECC, x4/x8 Single Device Data
Correction, CRC, parity protection, memory mirroring and memory sparing.
Xeon Dual Core Processor Features
