It seems that they started with g1 when HP got Compaq and have done a new generation about every year (I'm not a salesman so I'm probably wrong on this point, but wiki if you're really interested). So, if someone compares a dl120g3 with a dl120g4 I might comment on using such an old box for a server but wouldn't expect the implied or written support to change much.
