wow- 256mb - pathetic. and people are wondering why windows people bash mac... stupid move by apple.

even my macbook came with 512mb!

 

[zync]

wtf 256mb Of Ram!?!?!??!

I was thinking the exact same thing...us Bay area people must think alike 🙂

 

[yg17]

Intel transition finished....what about XServe?

 

[Sonic]

Does anyone else think the new higher pricepoint might leave room for a mid-range machine? Conroe Pizza box anyone?

 

[winstano]

I think this MP is going to have minimum stuff, and you add on.

Kimo

1 standard incredible configuration

 

[billchase2]

"one more product"???

 

[ChickenSwartz]

"$1000 more to get close from Dell"

Dell wouldn't sell that system with 256 MB RAM!!!

Maybe he will announce new, cheaper, RAM upgrades!

 

[steve_hill4]

So far, this sounds awesome.

Actually though, from a personal viewpoint, I'm waiting for the Leopard preview more.

 

[Nar1117]

Here we go... Xserve...

 

[Zazaban]

Intel transition finished....what about XServe?

I'm guessing...... 😀

 

[mr.steevo]

256 MB ram

TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!

They are going backwards!!! 😡

It said "256 bit wide memory access" . I think this is something else.

s.

 

[Sam*]

256 GB of RAM--that's almost laughable.

i think it was referring to 256 graphics card not ram

 

[yg17]

Intel transition finished....what about XServe?

[billchase2]

[benthewraith]

Intel transition finished....what about XServe?

10:19 am still 1U footprint
10:19 am built on Xeons - quad performance
similar to specs of Mac Pro
10:18 am xserves - entirely new
10:18 am incredible - performance and value
10:17 am one more product
xserve

 

[ipacmm]

finally new Xserve's

 

[Noted]

10:15AM - "8 fully buffered DOIMMs, an incredible design and beautiful, simple access to it all. We've had a lot of fun building great configurations for our customers. One standard configuration... Dual 2 2.66 dual core Xeons, 1 GB, 667 MHz FB-DIMM. 250GB HD. Nvidia geforce 7300GT, 256 MB and 16xc superdrive for $2499. I know what you're thinking. Apple makes the best computers but they're expensive. We're going to bust that myth. Similar configuration about a thousand dollars less than Dell.


Its the VRAM not the RAM

 

[MacRumoron]

apple store is down 😛

 

[Josh]

Same case, 256mb of ram.....I would have expected more from the pro line.

Excellent new features, but they are all overshadowed by the lack of ram.
