G5 Xserve updates Imminent?

We shall see, I know for a fact my work will buy one if they are released soon. Thay are waiting on the release of pather server to buy an Xserve so they don't have to pay for the upgrade to Panther.

This will be a great update.
Any indication as too size? 1 or 2 u?

the hot pockets guys from virginia tech won´t be too happy when the g5 server goes out....

Virginia Tech still has a massively powerful cluster. I bet they get great frame rates when they play Quake or UT2003. :p

Probably. And probably also for limited interest. Most of us only care about Xserve because Apple makes it, as we will probably never own one...

not very many details, and not much new information.

hmm..

i wonder if the will run any faster than 2 ghz

Ya know, I've got a 1.33 that does everything that I need it to. I can see upgrading to Panther but upgrading just because a faster processor came out? Nope. Oh yeah, I just received my first G5 and this thing is nice. I'm not going to list the "Apple pedigree" like I see some many who post in here like to do. Suffice it to say that the Air Force doesn't lack for funds to buy new machines. :D

I tend to disagree...

First, I disagree about Virginia Tech. I'm sure they realized that XServe G5s would be coming out soon. They probably have their reasons. After all, Xserves aren't any more powerful than towers, just more expensive and less expandable. The size is great, to be sure, along with accessable.

Second, to say that this, or any other, is a topic of limited interest is fairly narrow-sighted. Different people come to this site for different products. Just because you're only in the market for whatever it happens to be you're in the market for, doesn't mean that everything else is academic. I'm looking for an Xserve G5 and will buy one. You're only interested in the Xserve because Apple makes it but have no use for one? I'm an Apple diehard, but because I find their products useful to me. Why get caught up being a groupy for a computer maker? It's hard enough to find pertinent buying info without having to wade through the random opinions and thoughts of casual Apple fans.
