wow..lagi mahal...
If not mistaken, Imacs, MacbookPro replacements were either cheaper or same price but higher specs than the previous generations..
maybe due to this is premium product?

Also, does the price of MacPro drops after a certain period of post launching?

Not that I aware. That's why I deicided a Mac Pro is a good buy. Less revision, less price drop. The 1st gen lasted for almost 1.5 year without major revision.

betul juga...so you're going for one?

hmm, under processing, got
8-core: Two 2.8GHz, 3.0GHz, or 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5400 series processors

and a

Quad-core: One 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5400 series processor

Looks like the 2799 is for the 8-core 2 2.8Ghz.....? wonder what is the Quad Core doing there?

i thought it's a 2 x 2.8 Quad core standard....?

1 x 2.8 is a CTO model....  sweat.gif  but it's still way faster than the older stock 2 x 2.66 Dual Core....

i thought so too ..but cuba see http://www.apple.com/macpro/specs.html..
there is a 2.8 1x

err...care to explain in layman how 1x2.8 is way faster than 2 x 2.66 dual core?
thanks

layman's term....? hmm.gif  hmm.gif

Quad 2.66 against a true Quad 2.8.... in terms of gigahertz...

and the new Penryn Harpertown comes with SSE4 instructions... so if apps are optimised for it.... brows.gif

layman enough....? tongue.gif

spare me the technicalities please....  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

okay..the phrases `apps optimised for it'
AND

`bare number already winning'

won me over..heheheh..

hoping that the price of US2799 is not for the 1x2.8 quad model. hehehe

apple store down so cannot do `mock' buying..hehehe

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...
