octo core mac pros finally announced

I got distracted and forgot to respond to the cpu swaping. That’s one of the best things [swaping the cpus] I’ve heard yet!

With the 8 core Mac Pro with new quad 4gbs fibre cards already out, I would expect an update to Xserve Raid.

It looks like they sidestepped the HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray thing!

I was expecting to find a Blu-Ray burner in there.

HMM.

Apple supports HD-DVD.

You could add one of these for blu-ray if you have to have it: https://www.mcetech.com/blu-ray/

Oh, wow. I thought Apple supported Blu-Ray, too. That kinda sux. I wanted Blu-Ray, because of it’s larger capacity, even though I’m pretty sure it’s doomed.

Ten days and we’ll see what FCP and DVDSP will support!

[Zak Mussig]

Not true. Apple is in the Blu-ray camp. HDDVD is Toshiba and *gasp* Microsoft.

Old thread, but for anyone still checking back.
