Intel Foster(server version of Pentium4)details are here!

Here is thelink ,note it will support DDR chipsets.

Interesting. The first version of the Foster chips look like a
loser from the outset: It only supports 2 way multi-processing
(no 4x or greater) and only has 256K on-die cache. I can't imagine
why they're even bothering with this, except to gain earlier
bragging rights that a P4 "Xeon" is available. Sort of like
the current "Xeons" with 133Mhz bus speed and 256K cache. These
are repackaged PIIIs and are relatively unpopular owing to the
small cache. But Intel can claim they have very fast "Xeons" available.

The "Foster MP", which they claim will follow the initial Xeon
Foster "shortly" (but given past delays in Xeon introductions I
wouldn't hold my breath) is the one that actually brings P4
to the server market in a meaningful way.

It really doesn't concern the CPU what memory technology it uses, that's up to the chipsets. It would be more appropriate to say that there will be DDR chipsets which'll support P4 Foster. 🙂

The real interesting thing here is that Foster will use the 870 chipset. This is the same chipset that McKinley will use.

This means that Foster will have IA-64's 128 bit FSB that includes considerably better multiprocessor support then current Xeon processors. (IA-64 was designed for large multiprocessor systems) Not to mention the additional bandwidth. (4.2 GHz using PC2100 DDR SDRAM, 5.3 Using PC2600 DDR SDRAM)
