[QUOTE="aj-uk, post: 750634, member: 11251"] According to the site, the graphics card is: Built-in ATI Radeon X1300 PCI Express graphics board with 64MB of GDDR3 memory and single-link mini-DVI port; mini-DVI to VGA adapter included Which might make this a bit unsuitable for anything graphics intensive you wish to do with the Xserve workstation. However it has the following expansion capability: Two open PCI Express 2.0 expansion slots: one half-length (6.6-inch) configurable slot (x8 PCI Express 2.0 or 133MHz PCI-X) and one 9.25-inch x16 PCI Express 2.0 slot Perhaps someone knows if 9.25 inch is full size PCI Express, in which case you may be able to install graphics cards intended for the Mac Pro. Edit: Size would have to be your primary concern though as over here at least the Xserve seems to be more expensive than the Mac Pro. [/QUOTE]
