Jeff,
Personally, I'd go for deployment power and get a new xserve. The
JVM on Intel is faster than the G5, so I wouldn't go half-way with an
xserve G5. I develop WO on a MacBook Pro and a dual G5, and
honestly, the MBP is faster.

Hello,
Up to now I've been developing and deploying on the same
machine. I think it may be time though to have a dedicated
deployment server and was wondering, should I use my current
development machine as a server (2.5 Quad) and buy a new intel mac
pro, or should I get an xserve and keep using my current machine to
develop? My application is fairly computationally intensive, and
also needs to be able to handle some peak stress periods, so I need
something pretty powerful for the server in order to cover my
future needs, but it sounds like the new mac Pro's would make GREAT
development machines although my current machine is certainly no
laggard.
So, my choices are, keep developing on my current machine (which is
pretty darn fast itself) and buy a more expensive xserve to better
serve my future deployment needs OR buy a Mac Pro and use my
current machine as my server? Of course I could also use the Mac
Pro as my server during peak periods if I need more power. Is a
new intel server that much faster than my current machine (and the
current Mac Pro's) to justify spending more now for an Xserve? Is
the Xserve hard to setup?
Or should I possibly get an older Xserve G5 to tide me over for
now? Any and all opinions are welcome as I don't know too much
about Xserve's
Thanks,
jeff
