Utilizing the Intel® E7501 chipset, and featuring five independent PCI buses, the Thunder i7501 Pro provides maximum performance for today's server applications. Supporting two Intel® Xeon® Processors with 533MHz Front Side Bus (FSB), and high-performance DDR RAM, the Thunder i7501 Pro incorporates two P64H2 hubs that support four independent PCI-X channels. The Thunder i7501 Pro also features three network ports, including dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. These features, combined with optional Adaptec® Ultra320 SCSI, and integrated ATI® RAGE™ XL VGA graphics make this platform the perfect server solution.
