2.3/2.5 Ghz Xserve Updates?
According to ThinkSecret, Apple's 1U server is set to receive a speed bump in January, likely at Macworld Expo San Francisco. Systems will be bumped to a 2.3GHz G5 processor, identical to what Virginia Tech received months ago for its System X cluster, although sources didn't dismiss the possibility that a 2.5GHz Xserve might emerge as well.
The update also relates to the upcoming release of Xsan - the new shared-storage solution due from Apple. The expected release is in the 'Fall of 2004', but new rumors place the possible release of the application possibly as late as January 2005. The current developer's Xsan Preview Build, 7N156, expires December 31, 2004.

They need too. I wonder if they will just stick overly loud fans on the 2.5 or use liquid cooling...

Noise won't be as much of a factor in a computer room compared to an office.

That is what i meant. I would just put large amounts of fans, to save money without the liquid mechanism.

A 2.5GHz Xserver is great news IMO.
Apple is most likely going to use the new low powered G5 chips for the 2.5GHz model since no liquid cooling will be required and would most likly be less noisy and less power to drive it.
2.3GHz is already available however only to Virginia Tech.
This is also great news because it means that the PMG5 will either see a 2.8 - 3.0GHz models.
iMac G5 will be bumped to 2.0GHz in its rev B state.
And will we see a PowerBook G5, I wish MacRumors had some sort of bet on this one where we can wager money on. :)
