Considering you'll need SMP support the dual-socket motherboard will have to support the Xeon 5500 series and the 6-core Xeon Westmere's. As the picture reveals you'll spot the two LGA-1366 sockets, each powered by an 8-phase digital PWM circuit. Each socket is wired to six DDR3 DIMM slots supporting triple-channel memory for that socket. The board has 7 PCIe slots and to feed them the motherboard is equipped with two NF200 (NVIDIA) bridge chips to add additional PCIe lanes. We took a couple of photo's, check em out.
