I read this, and instantly became confused.

There are two possible conclusions here, either Toms hardware is full of shit, or I know a lot less about the Xeon platform than I thought.
Since when have 850 and 7205 chipsets ever been used on the Xeon platform? Isn’t 860 just the dual processor version of the 850 and the 7505 the dual processor version of the 7205? Since when did the 7501 chipset only support 100mhz fsb? Since when did the 7505 chipset support (officially) DDR333? Why would the supposed dual capable 7205 chipset support 133fsb yet only socket 603 being that all socket 603 chips are 100fsb?
I could poke holes in that all night, but in the end I’m feeling just a little bit confused here. Anyone care to take a stab at finding out just what the heck is going on here?
