The 30h includes 1 GB RAM and is powered by a 1.6 GHz Intel dual-core Xeon processor. The 50h includes 2 GB RAM standard and sports a 2 GHz Intel quad-core Xeon processor. The top of the line 100h comes stock with 4 GB RAM and dual quad-core 3 GHz Intel Xeon processors. All of the models run on iPrism software, which is being updated to version 6.0 this quarter.
