Mac Pro to be discontinued???

[Robert Houllahan]

The Wave and MC-Color will both work on PC and there are more storage controller options for the PC than there are for the mac.

have you tried Davinci Windows on you Asus “supercomputer”?
Could you please give me the details of the parts?

Just for the sake of the OS – I really like it.. – I’m praying that Apple will release a new mac pro, with new cpu’s, thunderbolt, upgraded bridge speed, upgraded PSU.

Also, will Davinci Linux will be available as software only?

thanks

I have not tried to run Win-7 on the Asus Mac machine, it is setup and runs very nicely and I am not going to mess with it.

I have an Asus P6T7 WS board with a i7 960 (6core 3.2Ghz) CPU and 12G of ram, a 1200W power supply and 3X eVGA GTX-285 GPU’s in slots 3,5,7 the Decklink HD (I know 4:2:2 only a bit shabby) and a ATTO R680 SAS Raid controller. The boot drive is just a 500G WD 7200rpm disk and there is a USB stick drive that is the booter for the system. The ASUS board’s bios is a custom written one for running OSX that one of the guys on the Aqua-Mac forum wrote. I am running 10.6.8 OSX.

I feel a X79 based Win-7 Resolve system somewhere in the near future…
