equivalent to around 1000 intel based servers.
LOL that's the biggest load of bull in the world. Don't believe the BS hype Apple is trying to sell you.

I don't see apple on the number 57 slot of the top 500 here.

I'll admit that one good thing about a Mac server though is you probably won't have to worry as much about exploits, although with Max OS X I'm not sure how true that is anymore since it is a Unix based kernal.
