I have a late 2006 XServer with dual core xeon processor.
Is this machine compatible with 10.7?
Currently it has 10.5.8. Is it possible to do a clean install of 10.7 on this machine?
Yes. Doing a clean install of Lion is only possible by using the USB flash drive or Lion's recovery partition to erase the drive prior to the installation.

This ultimately depends on which processors are installed in your Late 2006 xServe, Lion will only support models using the Quad Core processors, the Dual Core processors are not supported by Lion..

What does that mean. We have run Lion for nearly a year but we do get issues with having to reinstall now twice on several of these, they start having finder issues (corruption) lots of file service access with ton of files and then this fails, corruption of this and user accounts. Could this be a cause, do we have to go back to Snow Leopard to use these older Xserves? I am getting feeling as transtion from Snow Leopard to Moutain Lion (which does not work on these older Xserves) we may be getting into "transitional issues" but I cannot quite find the info and most questions now resolve around Mountain Lion Server.
