QuickPath was Intel's answer to AMD's Hypertransport, which was their 
answer to the old front-side bus. Basically the shared bandwidth FSB was 
replaced by a point-to-point transport in both cases. QuickPath is the 
underlying bus that PCI-Express runs on top of in Intel systems, just 
like PCI-Express runs on top of Hypertransport in AMD systems.

If the Xeon chip that you have uses a FSB interface, then it won't work 
with QuickPath.
