Search Again: G5 x Serve Video Card (was Re: Moving to windows) From: Mitchell Kahn Date: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 Time: 10:19:37 am FYI - One of our clients ordered an xServe from Apple to colo with us. The Apple sales guy failed to ask about a video card (my client assumed it came with one) and in April a video card for a G5 xServe was non-existent in the after market. While you can actually set up and run one of these via Apple Remote Desktop we like to periodically spin the dial on our KVM and look at what is happening on each server. I called our local Apple Specialist and ordered a "replacement" part (the video card that Apple does not sell). I had it in two days. The rub is that if you custom order an xServe the video card is $99 US - installed - as a replacement part it cost twice that without installation.
