Nearly a year after the G4 Xserve hit 1.33 GHz, Apple unveiled the Xserve G5 with single or dual 2.0 GHz G5 CPUs and a 1.0 GHz system bus (vs. 167 MHz on the Xserve G4/1.33 GHz).
Other changes include an 8 GB memory ceiling, four times as much as the earlier G4-based Xserve supported, one less drive bay, and removal of video output as a standard feature. A PCI video card can be installed in the Xserve G5's top slot for $100.
Xserve supports up to 1.2 TB of internal storage, RAID, hot swappable drives, and remote management while running Mac OS X Server.
Xserve includes an unlimited user license for Mac OS X Server.
