Apple will develop software, FCPX, Motion and Aperture come to mind, and so will others.

RAM appears to be upgradeable. They show it removed in the exploded view. Should be third party available. I expect we’ll be seeing some development in the area of 32GB RAM sticks. 32 total is plenty for my purposes. YMMV.

You get a pass on that, Joe. Configurability is a design problem to be worked out. I’m sure it will be. Connector size is the issue there. But these things do change through the years. BNC’s are a lot smaller than UHF’s as I am sure you will remember.

I really miss my 3 pound Motorola Cell phone.

With 6 Thunderbolt 20GB/sec ports, there will be externals for I/O, rack mountable perhaps as well. I’m just very happy to see a new Mac Pro that is powerful and not a d**n sealed iMac. Now that would be worth bitching about. Now I can stay on OSX. Not interested in a Hackintosh problem hobby and certainly not in Windows.

Harleys are too big. I like cafe racers, Ducatis, etc., myself. Look better too.

12 cores of Xeon isn’t enough? Should do for me.

Looks like it has two fast graphics cards already. Plenty of bandwidth. Very fast RAM. Looks extremely powerful for video. For anyone moving on from Adobe, looks quite attractive, especially FCPX, naturally. Aperture should fly too, my preferred photo app. Wonder what quality comes out of the HDMI 1.4 port? Thunderbolt T-Tap or Blackmagic for monitoring if necessary, cheap. Thunderbolt 2 looks good: Apple or someone is going to have to provide enclosures for storage and external PCIe as well for those that need it. AJA ioXT for acquisition will work fine. LaCie or something for eSATA, miss that. Looks like up to 64GB removable very fast 1866 Mhz RAM with 3rd party possible. 32GB sticks would allow up to 128, but for my purposes 32GB total is plenty.
I’m glad to see a very high performance machine from Apple. No need for Windows for me, ever. With a 2010 and a 2012 Mac Pro Tower for my PCIe needs, legacy software, and Adobe CS6 (no CC, thanks), and this next year, I should be set. I can adjust to the new model. Sounds like an upgrade to X is coming when the new Mac Pro releases. I WILL be learning FCPX.

If you ever plan to upgrade your computer and go to an external video output device such as the AJA ioXT, I would at least download 2.1.3. It adds support for Thunderbolt connected video devices. I am still using an AJA LHi in a Mac Pro 2010, and have had no problems with it on 10.6.8 and 10.8.2.
