Xserves get a nice update. Good luck convincing the significant other you need one!

Apple does more then desktop machines, and any loyal Mac fanboy has probably spent quite a bit of time trying to justify to themselves why they need an Xserve for the home network.  I won’t tell you that you “don’t” need one, but I’m about to make things a little bit more difficult for you.

Apple updated there Xserve line today.  The two baseline options are as follows:

Quad-Core

• One 2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Nehalem” processor
• 3GB memory
• 160GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA drive module
• Mac OS X Server v10.5 Unlimited-Client Edition
• $2999.00

8-Core

• Two 2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Nehalem” processors
• 3GB memory
• 160GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA drive moduleMac OS X Server v10.5 Unlimited-Client Edition
• $3599.00

Just like the rest of the Apple line up these days, they’re playing up the “Green” label, and state that these have “More Power. Less Energy”
