What are the Benefits of Server Hardware?

Why are there separate product lines for Server and Desktop hardware. For example, Xeon vs Pentium, IDE vs SCSI hard drives.

What are the principles of server hardware selection that led to these product lines

I know one main difference out there is servers usually have support for ECC (Error Correcting Code). This allows errors in the RAM to be detected and corrected.

Also, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that IDE and SCSI are being phased out in favor of the faster SATA2 interface.
