knowledgeable PC users. It provides information for the installation and use
of the
X6DH8-XG2/X6DHE-XG2 motherboard. The
X6DH8-
XG2/X6DHE-XG2 supports single or dual Intel
®
Nocona
TM
processors at a
800 MHz front side bus. Based upon Intel's NetBurst microarchitecture, the
Nocona processor supports the IA-32 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 Nocona Processor (800 MHz) which supports Hyper-Threading
Technology and Intel EM64T, is ideal for high performance workstation and
server environments with up to two processors on one system bus. Please
