Xserve(Early 2009)
More power. Less energy.
Background
On April 7, 2009 Xserve was updated to use Intel Xeon ('Gainestown') processors at 2.26GHz, 2.66GHz or 2.93GHz, PC3-8500 DDR3 memory at 1066MHz, two FireWire 800 ports, Mini DisplayPort output, and a maximum storage capacity of 3TB when used with three 1TB drives (with an option to add a 128GB SSD boot-drive that does not occupy a drive bay). It was also Apple's first Xserve to use PVC-free internal cables and components and contain no brominated flame retardants.
