An it appears this time Apple did the RAM right. Quad-cores come with six slots, octo-cores with twelve.

BTO options include a 128GB SSD and dual 2.66/2.93 GHz Nehalem Xeons.
The RAM ceiling with Leopard Server is 32GB. There are two PCIe 2.0 16-lane slots. One is half-length.

The SSD is actually a 1.8" device sitting in its own little extra bay. The three 3.5" bays remain available.
Solid-state of the art.
A new 128GB solid-state drive option provides an ultrafast, low-power boot drive alternative.1 Operating at under 1 watt — versus 12 to 18 watts for a typical spinning drive — this solid-state drive delivers random-access performance that’s up to 20x faster than a SAS drive and up to 48x faster than a SATA drive.2 All with read and write performance that’s about the same as a typical 3.5-inch SATA drive. And since this 1.8-inch drive is installed in a dedicated location, it doesn’t take up a valuable drive bay, leaving all three bays available for primary storage and RAID applications.

Is anyone else doing the solid-state boot drives in their servers?

Maybe. We're going to be buying a new server when the point-to-point fiber is finished installing. We'll probably wait until after Snow Leopard comes out.

Huh. Wouldn't have guessed OS X was limiting Macs to 32GB but that explains a lot about the Mac Pro memory offerings.
