The Xserve has DDR RAM?

Crap, that means it can't be far behind on the desktop.

Whoah. Rackmount servers for Apple? WTF is going on?

Yeah...it almost feels like Apple is back in the game.  Almost.  No SCSI...wtf!?

Yeah, the prices only look good until you realize it's IDE RAID.  :puke:

Still, nice to see Apple at least making the attempt, and they haven't exactly embarassed themselves with the thing.  We'll see how well it sells.

DDR ram

Same slow FSB that is shared between two processors.

Few things:

1) Yes, it is IDE raid
2) It is one IDE controller PER HD

Above plain IDE performance, below SCSI.

There's an excellent exchange about this:
