Leopard Server hardware requirements?

[Ashley Aitken]

I guess what I was trying to get at with my question was:  Server and  
client OSs have different hardware requirements.  We've heard rumours  
of Leopard's client requirements, what about server?

It would seem to me that server and client operating systems are  
generally quite different in their hardware requirements.  Of course,  
it depends on what sort of services the server is providing but  
unless it is a compute server it would seem to me that it probably  
requires a lot less CPU power and GPU (some servers I believe don't  
have GPUs) than a client machine.

Of course, Apple's server OS (AFAIK) is primarily a tweaked version  
of the client OS with extra software included (and some left out).   
However, I would hope that MacOSX 10.5 Server running primarily  
server services (except Xgrid and similar) would run (as a server) ok  
on pretty much any G4 with Firewire, with performance being limited  
primarily by the bus, disk, and network speeds.

Seem reasonable?

Cheers,
Ashley.
