Sorry, Nehalem wants his pedestal back.

yeah...i once told my US friends that in our beloved Malaysia, the highest MacPro cost RM28k....they almost fainted...a computer costing almost 30k! over there, can get a reasonable luxury car..

...if you dont consider foreign exchange and just value it at dollar per dollar of course...

Well, if you can earn back the damage within certain period, why not.

more core = waste electric if left it idle

ppl buy a Mac Pro with multicores for that helluva money, for sure they'll utilise it to the fullest....

second that. You think ppl buy mac pro for FUN? Maybe some will la, ultra rich tauke

some ppl need it for expand their creativity , like using LogicPro and Final Cut Server

i'm not yet that far to buy Mac Pro.

something i got from gizmodo

OWC FB-DIMM RAM just went down again.... time for me to grab some RAM....

just check cross fire yes...
can put 4 ati card...
wat u means by apple control things...???

you can put 4 card in. But that doesn't mean they're cross-fired or SLI. Waiting for more report on that. But 8x 30in LCD is insane.

Well the 1900XT that I run with my MacPro is inaudible except at startup when the fan kicks in at full power. It then spins down to it's normal operating speed which is silent. Even with running BF2142 and or CC3 for extended gaming sessions it remains quiet. Hopefully the 8800GT keeps the same noise level down.

I'd be interested how the new machines perform on standard PC benchmarks: PCMark; 3DMark etc. etc.

btw. Eithanius; you need a bigger monitor....

planning to get a second 20" as i have limited space for a single big-ass monitor...

Why UK? UK store are much more expensive due to VAT.
And I wont burn my pocket for the stock/apple card when I can get plenty of choice here with PC card.

at time of posting, it is only available in UK store...

Looks like the new stock spec 2.8Ghz can perform equally well as previous highest end 3.0GHz quad model...
