Actually I was planing for intel Nehalem-based Xeon but i have come across

wikipedia info.

Nehalem-based Xeon

"[edit]3400-series "Lynnfield"
Main article: Lynnfield (microprocessor)
List: List of Intel Xeon microprocessors#"Lynnfield" (45 nm)
Xeon 3400-series processors based on Lynnfield fill the gap between the previous 3300-series "Yorkfield" processors and the newer 3500-series "Bloomfield". Like Bloomfield, they are quad-core single-package processors based on the Nehalem microarchitecture, but were introduced almost a year later, in September 2009. The same processors are marketed for mid-range to high-end desktops systems as Core i5 and Core i7. They have two integrated memory channels as well as PCI Express and Direct Media Interface links, but no QuickPath Interface.
[edit]3400-series "Clarkdale"
Main article: Clarkdale (microprocessor)
List: List of Intel Xeon microprocessors#"Clarkdale" (32 nm)
At low end of the 3400-series is not a Lynnfield but a Clarkdale processor, which is also used in the Core i3-500 and Core i5-600 processors as well as the Celeron G1000 and G6000 Pentium series. A single model was released in March 2010, the Xeon L3406. Compared to all other Clarkdale-based products, this one does not support integrated graphics, but has a much lower thermal design power of just 30 W. Compared to the Lynnfield-based Xeon 3400 models, it only offers two cores. "
can u plz clarify ??

You have encountered info on LGA1156 Xeons. They are server versions of the the cheaper Core i series. They run on LGA1156 motherboards just like all the Core i series with model numbers less than 900 do.

Same core, but different features enabled. You won't be able to use the Xeons in many 1156 boards, as they lack BIOS support.

Bingo! Well put Prefer. While Intel® does use a unified microarchitecture across all of our processors certain groups will have features on them that others do not have. When it comes to motherboard you need to make sure what it supports for a processor over assuming that because it has the same socket that it will work.
