My... wallet... itchy....
My... credit.... card... hurts....
Financial Solvency or Mac Pro.... oh well, there goes that idea...sigh.
- All models built to order with 3 levels of QUAD processing (dual dual-core cpus) up to 3Ghz
- All based on Intel WoodCrest based Xeon 5100 series 64bit CPUs
- Fully Buffered memory up to 16GB
- 4 Harddrives with tool-less install (each 3Gbps SATA)
- Dual optical drive capable (SuperDrives available only right now, but I bet Blue-Ray would be a nice thing to add yourself)
- Multiple GPU options including capability to fit 4 video cards including one double-width card without losing slots
- Priced less than comparably configured Dell systems (are there any dual dual-core Xeon's in Dell's repertoires?)
My Aperture sucking, Final Cut hanging PowerBook dreams it had this amount of power. Unfortunately they did not announce updated MacBook Pros as well with new Merom chips at today's World Wide Developer's Conference Keynote. That would have made a purchasing decision easier since I value my mobile computing capability....double sigh. Still, if I can configure correctly and use the proper discounts (Edu or Corp)....hmmmm....we'll see.
