Right on Target New Macs
OK, Last Wednesday I just ordered our second Mac Pro. A week later the order has not been processed yet.
And today the new MacPros are at the Mac store,,,,, AHhhhhhhhhhhhh
Why
Who is going to be the first to jump.. 6gbs ram minimum, Nathlem processors instead of the Harpertown and yep another 500 bucks or so..
Now to google Nathlem versus Harpertown….. Dinner what dinner..
FCP, Mac Pro, Mac Book Pro, HPX500, HVX200, Betacam, Dvcam

So…do you want the NEW one or older one? If your order hasn’t been processed I’m sure you can take your pic. But, are you ready to be the one to test the new machine?

Here Nate, let me save your dinner… All you need to know is (excerpted from my post yesterday):
The Nehalem processors are a completely new architecture that completely eliminates the front side bus and the bottleneck it created between the RAM and the processors. The new “direct connect” architecture speeds up everything in the computer, essentially creating an overall boost of about 30% with proc clock speeds the same or even a little lower.

[Nate Stephens] “6gbs ram minimum”
Everyone keeps saying this. I don’t get it. I ordered one with 3GB from the Apple Store.

Hi
Whilst we’ve got to wait for real-world comparisons of the speed increase of the new Mac Pros over last year’s models, here’s a raw-speed benchmark (under Windows) that puts a new 2x Quadcore pair of 2.26GHz Xeon Nehalem EP CPUs (as in the new Mac Pro) at 15% faster than an 2x Quadcore 2.8GHz pair of last year’s Harpertown CPUs.
And apparently running under a non-optimal dual-channel RAM installation, rather than the triple channel setup that Nehalem is designed for (not 4 slots, as in the new Mac Pros).

The single chip (quad core) has a min. 3gb option, the 2 chip (Octo core) come with a min. of 6gigs
