top-of-the-line. Now it comes standard. This time around, performance is more phenomenal than ever - up to two times faster than the previous standard-configuration Mac Pro. And with the multi-core technology enhancements of Mac OS X Leopard, the new Mac Pro is a force to be reckoned with. For what ever your working on, either Photoshop or Final Cut Pro enjoy up to 1.8 times faster processing power with this new Mac Pro. All-new high-performance graphics cards from ATI make Mac Pro graphics technology even more cutting edge. ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256MB of GDDR3 memory, PCI Express 2.0, and two dual-link DVI ports - provides great performance for typical creative applications. The Mac Pro has four 3.5-inch internal hard drive bays that allows for an enormous amount of internal storage, up to 4TB. These bays are direct-attach and cable free, just attach the drive carrier to a Serial ATA hard drive and slide the drive into place. Another smart design allows you to install more memory in a snap. Mac Pro has two memory riser cards with four fully buffered DIMM slots each. Just slide out the riser cards and snap in the memory. With a total of eight DIMM slots available, you can install up to 32GB of 800MHz ECC DIMM memory. If you're looking for a powerful and a sweet looking desktop this is the one for you.

...The AppleMacProQuad-CoreXeon2.8GHz is a strikingly fast computer, like all its ancestors in the large archive of apple creations, which are all top class and brilliant!
This computer has a great design, as applemacs always do, and it is extremely fast and reliable due to its brilliant hardware installed on the inside of this stunning piece of machinery.
It will load all of your games, movies, dvd movies, cds, music disks, photos and all programs, including adobe photoshop which is very demanding... within seconds or milliseconds... thats how fast it it.
I seriously reccomend getting this computer if you dont mind spending abit of money on it as its quite expensive. But it is definately worth it!...

...Leistung:
Starke Grafikkarte. Eingebaut ist eine NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT. Sie reicht für meine Arbeit aus und ich bin bis jetzt vollkommen zufrieden! Der Prozessor hat (Intel Xeon Dual)3GHZ und rechnet mir alles superschnell zusammen und nicht wie an meinem alten PC, der erstmal 5Min gekruschtelt hatte...
Dank des 1Gb Arbeitsspeichers fährt der PC flott hoch, bearbeitet alles schnell(Dank DDR2 Ram)..
Kapazität der Festplatte:
Momentan ist eine 250Gb Festplatte drinnen. Das reicht vorerst für mich. Meine Programme verbrauchen ca. 70 GB und die Grafiken weitere 20GB. Internet etc. hat der PC nicht, da ich ihn nicht mit Viren etc. voll laufen lassen will, weil eine heiden Arbeit dahinter steckt.
Software:
Also erstmal war es eine gewaltige Umstellung mit dem neuem Betriebssystem. Ist doch echt brutal, ohne rechten Mausklick Leben zu...

Advantages: Easy case access, Quiet, Cool Disadvantages: Heavy, Expensive
...After being being disappointed with Microsoft Windows Vista, I decided to make the complete switch to Mac.
The one thing that put me off the MacPro was the price - I was used to building PC's cheaper.
After researching the MacPro more, I realised why it was so costly - the RAM is DDR2 ECC Fully-Buffered 800Mhz, which is not cheap. The motherboard supports two CPU's, and the ones that come standard are 2.8GhzQuadCoreXeons with 12MB L2 Caches.
The case design is fantastic, it is extremely quiet, and easy to pull harddrives in and out. The RAM sits on 2 separate riser cards, and supports up to a whopping 32GB of RAM.
Another great thing about this computer is that it has 4 PCI-e slots, and can run 8 monitors. I currently am running 3 monitors, and it handles the task easily - and they are not small monitors either 30", 24" and 22...
