Quote: Originally posted by PB There is something wrong in this story. I simply don't know what. Yes someting is wrong. Apple should be able to make resizing much faster. However, I can't help but wonder what the big deal is. Sure, it's a…

Quote: Originally posted by Stratosfear [B]xServe should support at least 16GB RAM. 2GB RAM is joke in server world. At least 16GB eh? Hmm. A Sun system that specs in around what a dual G5 w/ 16GB RAM will set you back about $30k. I agree that…

Quote: Originally posted by Barto I admit I was wrong about the ATABoy2. However, it's easy to treat many drives as a single unit in software, whether from the perspective of the server or the client. The Xserve RAID is not a hack, it's two RAIDs…

Quote: Originally posted by Amorph I don't doubt that both ATi and nVIDIA engineers had G5s on their desks as soon as Apple could supply something they could work with. Well, we just learned that one of these companies at least had G5s since …

Quote: Originally posted by Amorph There will be Sméagol. It's worth pointing out the the OS guys do their thing, and the hardware guys do their thing and the presence of a 10.2 build for the G5 suggests in no way that the G5 will ship before…

Quote: Originally posted by g::masta surely Apple will wait for Panther Server to be rock solid before loading anything remotely hot into an Xserve? 10.3 Server HAS to be solid solid solid before they can risk releasing a G5-based Xserve AND new …

Quote: Originally posted by Aquatic I wonder how many Xserves Apple is selling as servers? And what they're being used for? I have one. Dual 1GHz w 2 120GB drives. Nice machine. It's being used as a workgroup server. 12 users boot off of …

Quote: Originally posted by lundy So I would love to hear from some systems programmers on how this could POSSIBLY still be a problem in a dual G5. There is just no way that a total of 4 gHz of power isn't enough to recompute the contents of a wi…
