Features

Benefits

Optimized performance for multiple dual-processor market segments and price points,

supporting a larger number of users/transactions with faster response times

processors over an 800 MHz system

bus for dual-processing platforms

800 MHz system bus capability

Increased platform bus bandwidth (50% more than 533 MHz) delivers increased

system performance

Direct connection between the MCH and PCI Express component/adapters; bandwidth

up to 4 GB/second on each x8 PCI Express interface; higher bandwidth and less I/O

bottlenecks than PCI-X*

DDR2-400 memory interface

I

Maximum memory bandwidth of 6.4 GB/second

I

Decreased power consumption – especially important on dense rack, Hot Plug Controller

(HPC) and blade configurations

I

Next-generation PCI/PCI-X performance and significant enhancements to platform flexibility

I

Supports two independent 64-bit,133 MHz PCI-X segments and two hot-plug controllers

(one per segment)

to the MCH

provides 266 MB/second of bandwidth

Advanced Platform RAS

I

DIMM sparring, DIMM scrubbing and memory mirroring can improve system reliability

I

32-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) on PCI Express

I

Hot swap PCI Express enhances serviceability

I

support for variety of third-party Base Management Controller (BMC) and BIOS solutions
