I would bet money (or music hardware
 ) that the XServe would have no problem with running OS 9.2.2 it's really a G4 beefed up to support for networks and IT. The advantages are of course Rackmount, clustering (possibly), size and speed, DDR RAM speed. Disadvantages.... OS 9.2.2 supporting DDR RAM architecture, lack of PCI SLOTS!!! I think that last one sums it all up right there, the XServe has 2 or 3 PCI slots... pros kill for more PCI slots which is why PROTOOLS is so popular on 9600s (since ProTools doesn't rely on Processor the can cram more MIX farm cards into the machine for more power than a dual 1GHz VST based machine can muster up.) So if you really don't need PCI slots, XServe would rock, then again you acn always get a MagMA expansion chassis (www.magma.com) and add more PCI slots, so basically I just answered my own question, ok the XSERVE F*CKIN ROCKS!!!! GET IT!-Chris- |
