Servers are extra powerful, extra reliable computers that have been specially designed for server applications. For example serving a website, a large database or shared storage space to a lot of users. Servers are often not very quiet and deliver hardly any graphical performance, which makes them not suitable for use as personal computer. If you need a lot of servers, choose a rack mountable model. Those models need less space and your server room will remain tidy.
The IBM eServer xSeries 206m brings new features to entry-level servers that help lower overall IT costs and better accommodate growth.

Processor
Processor clock speed
Processor speed in Mhz. Often the clock speed is expressed by a manufacturer in GHz (1 GHz = 1000 MHz). The clock rate is the fundamental rate in cycles per second (measured in hertz) at which a computer performs its most basic operations such as adding two numbers. There are more factors, like internal memory size, that influence a computer's actual response time.
3000 MHz
Processor family
The processor serie to which the processor belongs.

Processor front side bus
Speed of the processor's Front Side Bus (FSB) in megahertz (1 million Herz). The FSB is the bus that transfers data between the CPU and the northbridge of the Motherboard. The maximum theoretical bandwidth of the FSB is determined by the product of its width, its clock frequency and the number of data transfers it performs per clock tick.
