I have noticed that when doing a build-to-order (BTO) on the Apple site for one of the gorgeous new Xeon Mac Pro towers, we have the following options:

Mac OS X Server v10.4
Apple now offers 100% native Mac OS X Server v10.4 as a preinstalled option, updating the Mac OS X v10.4 "Tiger" client to a full, server operating system. With Mac OS X Server v10.4, Apple has integrated popular open source software technologies and created innovative management tools to make it easy to provide powerful standards-based server solutions. Choose either the 10-Client license or Unlimited license of Apple's award-winning UNIX-based server operating system.

    None
    Mac OS X Server (10-Client) [Add $499]
    Mac OS X Server (Unlimited-Client) [Add $999]

Yet, Mac OS X Server as a stand-alone (buy it in the box) does not list Intel Xeon as an architecture that it will run on top of, under the Mac OS X Server specifications page...

http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/specs.html

Requirements

    * Macintosh computers with an Intel or PowerPC G4 or G5 processor
    * At least 512MB of RAM
    * AT least 10 GB of available disk space.
    * Built-in FireWire

Hmmm ... what gives? I know Apple is busy this week and its probably a mad house at Moscone, but it would be nice to know if Mac OS X Server 10.4.x is available for Intel architecture (hopefully not just Xeon but also Core in today's iMacs and Mac Minis).
