The Supermicro X8DT6-F is a dual-socket server board for Intel Xeon 5500 and 5600 series processors on LGA1366. It uses the Intel 5520 chipset with twelve DDR3 DIMM slots, so it can take large amounts of registered ECC memory for virtualization and database work. It is an extended ATX board aimed at people building or repairing rack servers, not desktop PCs. Against newer server platforms it is cheap to populate with used Xeons and DDR3, but it lacks the PCIe lanes, power efficiency and management features of current generations.
