knowledgeable PC users.  It provides information for the installation and use

of the 

 X6DAL-B2/X6DAL-TB2 motherboard.  The 

 X6DAL-

B2/X6DAL-TB2 supports single or dual Intel

®

 Xeon Nocona

TM

 processors  at

a 800 MHz front side bus.  Based upon Intel's NetBurst microarchitecture,

the Xeon EM64T (Nocona) processor supports IA-32 and IA-64 software

and includes features found in the Xeon

TM

 processor such as  Hyper

Pipelined Technology, which includes a multi-stage pipeline,  allowing the

processor to operate at much higher core frequencies.  Packaged in a 604-

pin Flip Chip Micro Pin Grid Array(FC-mPGA4) platform in a Zero Insertion

Force(ZIF) socket (mPGA 604), the Xeon EM64T Processor (800 MHz) sup-

ports Hyper-Threading Technology and is ideal for high performance work-

station and server environments with up to two processors on one system

bus.  Please refer to the motherboard specifications pages on our web site
