G5 Xserve in January?
According to Appleinsider, pre-production PowerPC G5 based Xserves have successfully undergone quality assurance testing earlier this week.
Appleinsider had previously reported Xserve G5s as imminent in October, but according to today's report, Apple had run against some unsatisfactory QA results on a batch of G5 Xserves in late November.
Expectations from the rumor site again place the Xserve G5 release as "imminent" -- with a release at or soon after MacWorld Expo 2004 with delivery not until February.
Appleinsider offers no new details on specs or form factor for the revised Xserve. Very few reliable details on the upcoming Xserves have emerged. ThinkSecret had hinted that a 3U enclosure was being considered, while Appleinsider posted unconfirmed hints of a revised 1U case.
The Xserve was last updated in February of 2003 to Dual 1.33GHz G4s.

Good news that they are nearing completion. I am interested as to what kind of speed the will be able to get in those servers.
also, will they still be 1u?

Wow, almost a year since upgrades. I didn't think it was that long. I even remember the "slogan" that went with their introductions:
We mean business.

At work we'd like to see Apple announce some improvements for the Xserve RAID.
In particular, it would be good if Apple released SAN software similar to CharisMac's FibreShare.
We can only wish...

Yeah I think this is really a good thing as it has been ages since Xserves have been updated... I almost forgot they even exsisted really... lol...
But the other good thing that MAY come from this is this would be Apple's second go at making a G5 motherboard.. they're may be some improvements made that if made would probably find they're way into the PowerMac line as well, such as how when Apple first came out with the Xserve if I remember correctly they came up with a whole new chipset that quickly found it's way into the Pmacs...
