One or two Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5200 Sequence*
Intel Xeon E5205/ 1.86GHz, 6 MB L2, 1066 MHz FSB, 65 watt
Intel Xeon E5240/ 3.00GHz, 6 MB L2, 1333 MHz FSB, 65 watt
Intel Xeon X5260/ 3.33 GHz, 6 MB L2, 1333 MHz FSB, 80 watt

* When ordering two processors, the second processor must be the same as the first. Intel processor numbers are not a measurement of higher performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See: http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details. Intel® 64 Architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers, and applications enabled for Intel 64 Architecture. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 Architecture -enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See: http://www.intel.com/technology/64bitextensions for more information. Quad-Core and Dual-Core are new technologies designed to improve performance of multithreaded software products and hardware-aware multitasking operating systems and may require appropriate operating system software for full benefits; check with software provider to determine suitability; Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of these technologies.

* When ordering two processors, the second processor must be the same as the first. Intel processor numbers are not a measurement of higher performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See: http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details. Intel® 64 Architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers, and applications enabled for Intel 64 Architecture. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 Architecture -enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See: http://www.intel.com/technology/64bitextensions for more information.
Quad-Core and Dual-Core are new technologies designed to improve performance of multithreaded software products and hardware-aware multitasking operating systems and may require appropriate operating system software for full benefits; check with software provider to determine suitability; Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of these technologies.
