Review: HP Z400
By Jan Ozer

Unlike its higher-end siblings, the Z400 is only available with a single CPU, and it doesn't feature the snazzy new case. It does share the Nehalem-based performance, however, and on certain applications, the Z400 produced impressive results compared to both previous Xeon generations and the dual-processor Z800. more>>
