Xserve
Along side the MacPro, the Xserve received an update as well also getting the Quadcore Xeon treatment. As like the Mac Pro, the Xserve has a totally new interior, yet the exterior basically stays the same. Now included in the Xserve, is two quadcore Nehalem Xeon processors running at up to 2.93 GHz. Also included are 3 Serial ATA or SAS HDs for up to 3TB of internal storage, using "hot-swappable" hard drive bays. Dual Gigabit Ethernet is included along side optional dual redundant power supplies. The Xserve uses the same FB ECC DDR3 1066 MHz RAM as the Mac Pro, configurable up to 32GB. As like the previous Xserves, it comes in a 1-U form factor and a rackmount kit is included with all Xserves. Also, an unlimited user client of Mac OS X.5 Leopard Server Edition is pre-installed on any configuration. The Xserve comes in 1 standard configuration and has many optional addons listed below the standard configuration.
