Hardware Description

The Intel-based Xserves were announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference on August 7, 2006, and are significantly updated compared to the XServe G5, and G4. They use Intel Xeon ('Woodcrest') processors at 2 GHz, 2.66 GHz, or 3 GHz, PC2-5300 (DDR2-667) ECC FB-DIMMs, ATI Radeon X1300 graphics, a maximum storage capacity of 2.25TB when used with three 750 GB drives, optional redundant power supplies and a 1U rack form factor. The Intel Xserves now had their graphics cards on-board, meaning that one did not need to sacrifice a PCI slot to add video capabilities — a departure from G4 and G5 Xserves.
