we have a very well performing, though not very quiet QS 800 dually, that was royal pain in the butt until Applecare finally rebuilt it from the ground up after the G5's were out... we've always run bigger drives off of a Sonnet card, but since the guts were replaced late in the game, what are the odds the *new* mobo bus will support big drives? methinks a drive swapping project is in the offing...
after the Applecare redo, it has been an incredible machine, extra storage capacity would be a nice bonus.

The 867mhz wasn't a 2002 model. It was 800, 933, dual 1gig.
There might have been a 867 education model at one point but I can't remember for sure....anyone?

Right, that is also what I said the 867 MHz model in the example from xlr8yourmac was.
There might also have been a 867 Educ QS model, but not one I recall. There was an Educ model of the 867 MDD with a single processor as I recall. Standard was a dual 867 MDD. There were a number of "odd-ball" Educ configurations offered at times, especially through the institutional sales listings. I got to see quite a few through my former job, but no longer have easy access to those.
