I think you missed the point, then. He wants an x86 server that's as good as the Xserve, while also allowing unlimited clients and the same feature set.
Got a tip for us?

My dualie is still listed as "On or before 4/29"
Originally was 3/10.
Oh well 🙄

xServe just got pushed back again!
This is starting to get ridiculous 😡
Mine just got pushed back again to "On or before
06/21/2004"
This would make it OVER 6 MONTHS since I ordered it! Glad I really wasn't counting on it to do much until the fall 🙄

Yea, that almost got me too!
I only found out by looking at the ports and no where was a VGA port.
At this point, it doesn't really matter. Won't be here for a while (6/21) 🙄

Question: Did your servers have the hardware RAID cards? It's beginning to look like this is now the problem.

It the HW RAID Card!
I just got off the phone with Apple and they confirmed that the RAID card is holding up the order. They just can't get them 😱
😡
Does anyone know of a RAID 5 card that will work in the G5 xServe?

Well, it got bumped back AGAIN!
Ah well, unlike the lucky folks getting their 2.5GHz G5's, my little OLD order for a G5 xServe has been pushed back again!!!!
This time it's ONLY been moved back to Aug 24th.
My question is this:
Why is it SOOOOOO hard for Apple to come up with the friggin' hardware raid card?
Seems you can now order an xServe with the RAID card, as someone on MacInTouch mentioned that Apple is listing a 5-7 day ship time on it now.
So where the ^&^*^*& is mine?

great news 🙂 looks like i might be waiting 4 months for my dual 2.5ghz powermac, it's killing me. I coudn't imagine waiting as long as you guys have for an xserve.

What's most amazing is that I just had the date for shipment bumped back to Aug 24, so I was REALLY surprised to see it shipping🙂
I've been following the tales of woe of on the 2.5 shipping thread. Unfortunately, this is nothing new when Apple releases a hot new product. I can't tell you how many times I've order the latest right after a Steve Note and been bitterly disappointed that I had to end up waiting months for it.
Hang in there!

You can connect to a Xserve RAID via a Fibre Channel Card in your PowerMac, if that's what you're referring to...
RAID card
Hi Shard,
No, I mean the "Xserve G5 PCI Hardware RAID Card" card.
You can find it on the Apple Store - it's the first item under "Server Accessories".
Here is the description:
"This 64-bit/66 MHz PCI card provides enhanced reliability and performance to Xserve G5's internal Serial ATA (SATA) drives using a hardware RAID controller. Bypassing the on-board hard drive controllers, this card provides three independent 150MBps Serial ATA controllers backed by a high-performance RAID processor and 64MB of RAID controller cache with an on-card backup battery."
