Do your homework

Intel quad core DP Xeons are offered with chipsets supporting the high bandwidth FBDIMMs and ALSO with chipsets supporting the cheaper DDR2 DIMMS (with the 5100 chipset).

Her are some links to a couple of SuperMicro's 5100 chipset DP Xeon boards:

This "study" was clearly an AMD funded hack job done to spead FUB about the superior Intel products.
