Processor / system bus

  • 2 CPU sockets (G34 compatible)
  • HyperTransport™ Technology 3.0
  • CPUs supported:
    • AMD Opteron 6100 series (Fam10h. No IOMMU support. Not recommended - old. View errata datasheet here: http://support.amd.com/TechDocs/41322_10h_Rev_Gd.pdf)
    • AMD Opteron 6200 series (Fam15h, with full IOMMU support in libreboot - highly recommended - fast, and works well without microcode updates, including virtualization)
    • AMD Opteron 6300 series (Fam15h, with full IOMMU support in libreboot. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE - virtualization is broken without microcode updates.
    • NOTE: 6300 series CPUs have buggy microcode built-in, and libreboot recommends avoiding the updates. The 6200 series CPUs have more reliable microcode. Look at this errata datasheet: http://support.amd.com/TechDocs/48063_15h_Mod_00h-0Fh_Rev_Guide.pdf (see Errata 734 - this is what kills the 6300 series)
  • 6.4 GT/s per link (triple link)
