Can't be faster than my 1100 PowerMac Dual G5s cluster The propulsion that it makes with all the fans turning at once has to be pretty fast

But that's cool.. Fast in both ways

Mr. Forgettable,

The University of Virginia is now trading out all of their DP PowerMacs for DP Xserves. Now it'll take up less rackspace and hopefully we'll get some G5 bargains at work

Yes, I know they are, I hear it's gonna be a straight-trade with Apple and all the refurbs are being sold by authorized apple resellers about 100-200 dollars less than a new one. Not a very good deal. Comes with 2 (or 4? I forgot) GB RAM and a Combo drive. But the new Xserve cluster should be a monster also.

It's at Virginia Tech, not the University of Virginia.
