In today's video I'll be looking at one of the strangest Macs ever made: the Xserve. I'll be examining this old machine not as a dedicated server, but as a workstation, because it shares most of its specs with the 4,1 Mac Pro from this era with a much lower cost. Should you buy one?

The machine struggled to find its niche in the server market, where Macs were generally not used very often. If you’re confused about the graphics in this machine, here’s some clarification: my unit has a GT120 from a Mac Pro (PCIe card) whereas if your Xserve was ordered with a GT120 it would be in MXM form, leaving the two PCIE slots unpopulated. This means you could theoretically run 3 graphics cards in this machine! I’m considering trying to get a more modern and more powerful MXM graphics card running on this machine, such as a GTX 980M, but there are no fans to cool an MXM graphics slot so it might be tricky. There are a lot of options in this regard because MXM graphics can be found on iMacs up to 2011, and support exists for putting non-stock cards in iMacs and Xserves. Nvidia web drivers for mac could allow you to run a 980M in the Xserve provided you could cool it properly...
