Just noticed that Apple have also added the option to specify a dual or quad channel fibre optic PCIe card in the Mac Pro as a BTO option. No one seems to have noticed it so thought I would point it out. It may not be as interesting as the RAID card but certainly useful to know. How many channels was the original fibre card?

By the looks of it you can connect two Xserve RAIDs to the quad channel card.

Edit : Not sure how new this is, but it certainly was not available the last time I checked out the Mac Pro BTO page. Can anyone confirm if it was added yesterday or if it is a (slightly) older addition?
