    No one has posted yet about the new 8 core mac pros?

    For the record - You can now purchase a new mac pro configured with 2 quad core xeons. Each processor has 8 megs of cache. The box can take up to 16 gb of ram :jawdrop:

    yer they are not on sale over here in the uk yet!!! sounds well good but the price!!! an extra $1498 which means that us over here in the uk will have to spend an extra £900-£1000 because everything over here is more expensive! but still if i had the money i would!

    Man, Apple really does wait for Leo Laporte to buy something before upgrading. Listen to the latest Macbreak Weekly :hehe:

    I love that show!

    On the subject of these new computers though, I mean, is this a case of more speed for speed's sake? Considering what was already on offer?
