Lots of changes to the PE 1950, see the table below for a comprehensive list.

Quick quide for selecting the PE 1950

CPU bus speed - 667, 1066, 1333 MHz you pick!!!
Need more than 800 gigs you must use the 2 x 3.5" backplane for SATA
Need RAID 1 - use the 3.5" backplane
Need RAID 5 - use the 2.5" backplane
2.5" backplane supports RAID 5  and 584 gigs ( 4 x 146 10K) 10K only

Pros:
  All CPU's are now dual or quad core
  Dual core prices are drastically reduced !!!
  You choice of either 2 (3.5" SATA or SAS) or 4 (2.5" SAS only) hard drives.
     The backplane is riveted to the case, there is no way to swap them out!!!!!
  Rail kits are a combination versa and rapid, one fits both rack types.
  New fully buffered memory type, the first serial mode memory for Dell servers
    Registered memory will not work.
    The memory is designated DDR2 4300F or 5300F. Hint - DDR2 4200R will not work!
    Use only DIMM's with a full heat sink spreader installed.
  SATA drives up to 1 TB are now supported.
    2 drives max, software raid level only.

Cons:
  No internal floppy.
  5080 cpu draws 135 watts per cpu!!!!!.  A rack of those processors burns the same amount of energy as your home.
  Lots of internal parts and cables.
  SAS controller does not have a hardware level raid controller.
