I plan out to own a new computer and wonder which one would be best to run MaxMSP & jitter.

Very good questions I think.

Jitter is a bad idea on the XServe - its an integrated graphics platform, doing anything in GL would be slow, its just not meant for that. You would do much better with a Mac Pro.....

plus the fact that under normal load they sound a bit like a 2 stroke leaf blower.
