I think I may buy it, just because I adore MacOSX.
|
so it's basically a pc.
Get over it mac addicts. It's no better than a clone. |
nice

haha, I don't think you need 16 gigs of ram. :winkwink: |
As powerful as the laptops are now a days I don't see the need to go for this one unless you are doing some extreme Video High Def editing as your primary job.

Sorry guys, I'm a PC user too, but there's no PC right now that can have 16GB of RAM, and 2 dual-core xeon woodcrest's. (2 dual core 64-bit processors).
You get what you paid for, simple as that. Although the price really is overkill though. Apparently Dell has something similar in spec, but sells for $900 more. However, if you get one of these and aren't into some serious video production work, then you're literally just pissing away your money. This thing is way too powerful for 99% of the work out there. It's just impressive. That's all there is to it. Oh, and Leopard looks great. An OS that fully utilizes multiple cores, and can run both 32 and 64-bit applications natively, without any software/hardware changes. Fully specced macpro = overkill Mac leopard OS = kick ass |
Idiot PC users that never spent more than 5 minutes on OS X and talk like they actually know anything about a Mac just by looking at the pictures.
Oh, it's a grey box, more like a PC every day. Retards. |
looking good, a bit overpriced though:disgust

Funny how mac used to be held with such regard to stability and speed, now they're running a regular ass pc architecture. I believe this system is totally weak, anyone willing to buy one to benchmark it against my pc?
Dualcore Dual Opterons 16gb ddr 400 Nvidia Quadro FX4000 or BFG 7950 Fibre Channel Harddrives + PCIX FBCHN Controller :) my thing is a fucking beast, You'll LOVE it |

they really price themselves out of the market. |

If it's Window's or Linux, it can't. You're only getting 60% of your dualcore's power. ;) I'm not a mac lover, but their OS is definitely praise worthy. AAK: Cheers mate. I just got annoyed because my sig disappeared. Lol. bvds: What market? the casual consumer market? This thing definitely isn't for regular consumers. See the photo I posted. That's the price of the base mac vs a base dell of similar spec. Yes. I know, you can buy parts of a PC and spec it up to. It's the same banana with the macpro. My mate owns a powermac and bought it base spec, then bought all the other upgrades (HDD, RAM, etc.) on newegg.com and other similar sites, and saved a bundle. Except that unlike a PC, he's got a kick-ass OS. It's the same deal with PC's. If you buy from a company, you'll get a price with the company's profit margin on it, plus assembly costs. |
