About This Manual
This manual is written for system integrators, PC technicians and 
knowledgeable PC users.  It provides information for the installation and use of 
the 
 X7DB8-X/X7DBE-X motherboard.  The 
 X7DB8-X/X7DBE-X 
supports  dual Intel
  
Xeon 64-bit dual core processors at a front side bus speed of 
1333/1066/667 MHz. With dual Xeon 64-bit dual core processors, the 5000P chipset, 
and eight DDR2 FBD 667/533 memory modules built-in, the X7DB8-X/X7DBE-X 
offers substantial functionality and performance enhancements to the motherboards 
based on the dual core NetBurst microarchitecture while remaining compatible with 
the 32-bit based software.  Key features include the Intel Hyper-Threading Technol-
ogy, Virtualization Technology, Hyper Pipelined Technology, Execution Trace Cache, 
Thermal Monitor 1/2 (TM1/TM2), Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology, Advanced 
Dynamic Execution, Advanced Transfer Cache, Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 
(SSE3) and Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T).  These features allow the 
motherboard to operate at much higher speeds with better power management in 
much safer environments than the traditional motherboards. The X7DB8-X/X7DBE-
X is ideal for high performance dual processor (DP) enterprise server/workstation 
environments. This product is intended to be professionally installed.
