I am also interested in the chipsets they use.

I believe the DL145 uses the AMD 8000 chipset, but I can't find any 
information on the newer servers.  I was concerned that they might use 
nVidia chipsets, like the new workstation.  However, on rereading the 
press release, they only tout the nVidia chipset for the workstation, so 
the servers probably use something much more boring!

Regards,

Jan.
