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 BladeCenter HS20 is a key component in building your IBM eServer BladeCenter configuration. This blade helps take application servers to the edge of high-density design and has massive scalability. At your command are powerful, two-way SMP capable Intel® Xeon™ processors, high-speed memory, Gigabit Ethernet controllers and advanced high-availability and systems management features.

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.
3200 MHz
Processor family
The processor serie to which the processor belongs.

Processor
Processor is the central unit in a computer containing the logic circuitry that performs the instructions of a computer's programs.
Intel Xeon with EM64T
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.
