  • Buying new Mac Pro

    Posted by Dave Davin on February 10, 2010 at 10:27 am

    Hi guys,

    New to the site so not sure if this question is in the right forum. I am about to purchase a new Mac Pro which will be used predominately for editing. FCS3, Photoshop CS4 and AE CS4.

    Does anyone have a general insight into what works best with the above, ie Graphics cards, Quad vs 8 Core, speed, hard drive etc…

    Cheers,

    Dave

    Hi Dave,
    I want to buy a Mac Pro, but I’m waiting.
    Apple should be releasing new models soon.
    The last are almost one year old.

    This question comes up almost weekly and you can do a search on this forum for “Mac Pro” “New System” etc… to get all the answers.

    You can click on my Profile to see the three systems we run here.

    My recommendation is always the fastest Mac you can afford, 8GB RAM minimum, AJA Kona board, ATI 4870 Graphics card.
