Just wanting to get people's opinion on whether to use a Dell Server with say a Xeon 2.4g CPU or the new Apple XServe G5 single processor.
I was going to order a Dell a month or two ago because the g4 XServe I thought lacked a little but now with the G5 it can probably cut it and I would really like to stay with Apple if I can.
We run a medium size golf website and currently use a linux box at Rackspace but want to upgrade. The Xserve would need to run the usual Apache/PHP/mySQL setup.
Does anyone have any idea on speed and feature comparisons? The XServe is pretty much the same price as the Dell because we don't need to pay for any Windoze licenses using Linux.
Any help would be appreciated....
