Another point needs to be made... The G5 is the key at this time. If the G5 continues to scale and perfom better you WILL see people migrate to OS X. Heck, I just purchased two dual G5's...one for one of my guys and another to throw into our data…

Let me respond to a few points made here. 1) Apple re-creating Photoshop IS NOT a simple process. If you believe this then you underestimate the amount of time that goes into an application the size of Photoshop. Apple would be further ahead to p…

Quote: Originally posted by Alexander Just out of curiosity, what does swapping a drive in an Xserve involve? As a side note: Our SCSI Raid's are setup to rebuild automatically when a new drive is inserted while running. We already have the …

Quote: Originally posted by Barto [B]That's correct, however my point is you have a peak throughput of 400MB/s on the Xserve versus 160MB/s on the Dell. SCSI will be closer to peak that ATA, but not that much closer. Whoa there... Don't use su…
