The 380 isn't a replacement for the 360, it's a different server.  The
ProLiant "DL" server lineup is as follows:

DL320 - 1P, 1U, 2 drives, 2GB RAM, 1 PCI slot
DL360 - 2P, 1U, 2 drives, 4GB RAM, 2 PCI slots
DL380 - 2P, 3U, 4 drives, 4GB RAM, 4 PCI slots
DL580 - 4P, 4U, 4 drives, 16GB RAM, 6 PCI slots

All the ProLiant servers are summarized here:

By the way, I'd like to wish everyone a prosperous new year!  (or is it a
new millennium? ;-)

Regards,
John
