If the job needs doing - this server will do it
Review of IBM eServer xSeries 260 8865 - Xeon MP 3.16 GHz by goosey2

Advantages: Powerful - impressive - cutting edge
Disadvantages: Like a big filing cabinet on wheels

...sticks of up to 4GB PC3200 chipkill memory. The server can accommodate four of these boards giving a total of 64GB of memory if necessary. All of this is pumped through the new Hurricane memory processor and X3 architecture which basically means blistering throughput of data. Further back and to the left and down as well if I remember rightly (it's quite big) are all of your expansion slots and where the RAID card plugs in. It is secured front and back by some nicely fitting clips that click reassuringly into place (don't forget to connect the battery). At the back you will find the two hot swap power supplies with room for a third once you unclip the metal cover blocking the empty space where it should go. As a nice final touch the the fault panel that is normally attached to the side of the X236 is housed in a little self contained unit... Read review
