You want to run VPS software on an XSeries?
You will need one of the newer ones which allow a lot more memory. A dual Xeon CPU will be best too.
IBM Xseries servers are fantastic servers.

We have dozens of IBM xSeries servers. Been running them for years, never had a single hardware failure. Ever.
If you're going to run VPS you'll need a minimum of 6GB RAM. You'll be OK with 1 Xeon CPU if you're not concerned with benchmarking scores, but you must have RAM to avoid hitting the swap.EuroVPS - Europe's Fully Managed Hosting
