by the time the price of a 1 GB stick drops to where a 512 MB stick is now, you may be thinking of replacing your new powerbook. buy what you can afford now. -r.

ECC... Mmmmm...

I like the fact that thay are pushing a "compute node" version of the Dual 2Ghz. Will Apple clustering software be far behind?

Too bad the enclosure is the same as the G4 Server.

Interesting how Apple is able to fit 3 hard drive bays and dual 2GHz G5 processors in a 1U form factor. Suddenly the G5 desktop computer with its thermal zones and fans.... Lookin…
