Thanks xStainDx. The Dell PowerEdgeTM 700 and 750 servers offer high performance and highly expandable formats in single-processor, general-purpose servers that are designed for cost-sensitive, small and medium-sized businesses. The 700 is a tower server that is ideal for corporate remote office and retail point-of-sale environments. The 750, a 1U-rack unit, is perfect for edge-of-network applications such as low-end Web hosting and caching. The 750 is also ideally suited for network infrastructure applications such as DNS and DHCP domain controllers, and for single-function applications such as video streaming.

Both of these outstanding PowerEdge systems offer features and performance comparable with much more expensive servers. Their chassis have a convenient tool-less access design for easy service and maintenance, and both systems provide support for the latest high-performance Intel® Pentium® 4 800 MHz FSB processor or a cost-saving Celeron® 400 MHz FSB processor. PowerEdge 700 and 750 servers also support SATA and SCSI hard drives with optional RAID control and up to 4 GB of DDR400 SDRAM memory with dual channel memory architecture to minimize bandwidth bottlenecks.

PowerEdge 700 — Low-Cost Performance in a Tower Chassis

The PowerEdge 700 server provides the performance and quality required for a number of cost-sensitive applications. It's especially well-suited for specific line-of-business applications, for file and print serving, and for small database requirements. It's also ideal as a workgroup application server, as an e-mail server, or as an Internet access server for a dedicated group. PowerEdge 700 features and options include:
  • Up to four SATA or SCSI hard drives with optional hot-plug SCSI and optional RAID 0,1,5 support
  • An embedded Gigabit1 Ethernet controller (provides load-balancing and fail-over support when a second or third PCI NIC is installed)
  • Five PCI slots for expansion
PowerEdge 750 Server — Low-Cost Performance for Rack-Dense Environments

Cost-sensitive data center users and service providers deploying multiple integrated servers will want the space-saving PowerEdge 750 system for its abundant features and very affordable price. PowerEdge 750 features and options include:
  • Up to two SATA or SCSI hard drives with optional RAID 0 and 1 support
  • Two embedded Gigabit1 Ethernet controllers for load balancing and fail-over support
  • Two PCI slots for expansion
Low-End Server Prices with High-End Server Features

PowerEdge 700 and 750 systems offer some of the best values available today in single-processor, high-performance servers. Because they're easy to set up, run, troubleshoot and expand, they can be great for small and medium businesses, and corporate remote operations with little IT support. Dell Server Assistant CD helps make installation simple, and Dell OpenManageTM Suite provides easy server management. You also get Dell's after sale support and service; Dell has been ranked No. 1 in customer satisfaction in Intel-based servers for the last 10 consecutive quarters.* Let Dell custom-configure the PowerEdge 700 or 750 server that's right for you. It's easy as Dell.

This is straight ad copy from the Dell website.

No disrespect to xStainDX or configure, but this seems more like corporate spam than "news".

Yeah, this is straight from Dell website. It may seems like an ad for Dell but I don't look at this as a spam, but rather just another news article. That's just me

There's nothing surprising about those servers. You don't even mention their competition, so like Octol says, it looks like an advertisement for Dell more than a news article.

A Celeron processor in a server???? Surely they must be kidding. Servers need as much cache in the processor as possible.
