The Intel ® E7520 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the Intel
controller hub) provide the vital interfaces for the motherboard.
The MCH provides the processor, dual-channel DDR2-400 memory, and PCI
Express interfaces. The ICH is a new generation server class I/O controller
hub that provides the interface for PCI 2.3.

The motherboard supports DDR2 memory which features data transfer rates
of 400 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest server
applications. The dual-channel memory architecture doubles the bandwidth of
your system memory to boost system performance, eliminating bottlenecks
with peak bandwidths of up to 6.4 GB/s.

The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect
technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point-to-point
serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by
carrying data in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with
existing PCI or PCI-X specifications. See page 2-20 for details.
