Xserve (Early 2008)

Compared with the Xserve (Late 2006), this model moved to one or two quad-core Intel Xeon 5400 processors at up to 3.0 GHz, for up to eight cores. Memory changed to 800 MHz FB-DIMMs, still up to 32 GB, and the slots moved to PCI Express 2.0. A third USB 2.0 port replaced the front FireWire 400 port. Apple said it was up to twice as fast.
