Why should I buy a ML110 G5 instead of using a desktop PC as a server?
There are several important differences between the ML110 G5 and a desktop PC for server deployment. First, the ProLiant ML110 G5 uses a chipset that is designed specifically for server applications. The chipset is stress tested for ECC memory support, a critical feature for server dependability. Second, the ML110 G5 was specifically designed for and rigorously tested with server applications in demanding server configurations. This testing cycle ensures optimal performance and dependability when deployed as a server. Finally, the ML110 G5 is packaged in an ergonomic chassis that makes typical server hardware configuration changes simple. By not including expensive graphics or sound cards found in desktop PCs the ML110 G5 is able to offer true server functionality at an equivalent desktop PC price.
