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…

^^^ Which is one of the things keeping me from even looking at the G5 as a serious purchase option yet. If I am going to buy a computer that is the size of a car (which is fine wit…

I am sure that in order to squeeze all that into the same enclosure the fans are mind-numbingly loud. I'd rather have a big box under my desk that is (relatively) quiet than a pizz…

drool drool I wonder if these Xserve's are using the rumored 90 nanometer process from IBM or if they are using the same 130 process the powermac's are using. Its interesting that …

Estimated shipping "6-8 weeks".

Im sure VTech is phoning Apple to ask them why they didn't inform them that they could have had all their G5's racked up. It would have made the cluster WAY smaller.

Very cool. Now if I can just come up with a sufficiently processor-intensive task to warrant this little acquisition

Wow imagine how great my RC5 key-rate would be with even that little short nubby rack on wheels!!! If G5 cores ever come out anyway.

You can ride it!

was anyone here at the show? If you were .. how loud are these things?

The 90 nm G5 PPC 970 2.0 still has 512 KB of L2 cache. I wonder if an upgrade to 1 MB is in the works this year.

G4 Xserves were loud. As for the size... remember that while it's only 1U high, the footprint is HUGE. Its total volume is not likely very much less than a standard G5. tooki

I think now is the perfect time to introduce an iServer consumer level server based on like a single 700MHz G4, 3 or 4 HD bays, slot load DVD ROM, one pci slot, built in dual ether…
