Announced in August 2006 but shipped in November, the Xserve (Late 2006) was the first new XServe in over two years, and replaced the Xserve G5. The most obvious change was that the Xserve (Late 2006) was built around two dual-core Intel Xeon 5100 processors, completing Apple's transition to Intel. It shipped in a single, highly customizable model, with a base price of $2999. BTO options included an 8x DL SuperDrive, up to 2.2 TB of storage, via three hot-swappable bays, 32 GB of RAM via 8 slots, Fibre Channel PCI Express and Dual-Channel Ultra320 SCSI PCI-X cards, and an Xserve RAID card.
