Known quirks
- Harpertown Xeons brought 45nm quad-core — 8 physical cores in dual-socket builds
- Jumped from FireWire 400 to dual 800 — faster target-disk-mode rescues
- Fully-buffered DIMMs run hot and need careful memory population rules
- Firmware-locked to Apple-branded heatsinks for proper thermal trip points
- Last Xserve to support 32-bit EFI — 2009 went 64-bit EFI
