Ahem... 2560!  Wow!  But hey, they can be tanks.

Well I can confirm that I've personally done 2 5108R installs today for 
2 different customers, both with the latest ISO, and they're both the 
correct version.

Run this:
# uname -r

A 5108R box (64-bit) will return something like this:
2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.x86_64

Whereas a 5107 box (32-bit) will return this:
2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.i686

Hope that helps...
