According to the French web site MacBidouille the new Mac Pro will be launched at MWSF. <br>They say the reason for the delay is Apple is in the process of reworking Leopard to work with the instructions of Penryn and especially with SSE4 instructions.<br>It is for that reason that Mac OS X 10.5.2 will be revised and released at MWSF also.<br>It will be the best interim update of a system ever released by Apple.<br><br>Normally this rumor would not be a big deal to me but I thought it was interesting and probable that the delay could indeed be because Apple is trying to optimize Leopard to work with the Mac Pro's Harpertown processors.<br><br><br><br><br>

that's fine with me . . . i can wait. i figured if they've waited this long that nothing was going to happen until after the holidays anyway. i hope they ramp up production and have stuff ready to ship when they announce. <br><br>

This baby is going to be a beauty.<br>It should have either nVidia's 8800 GT or ATI's HD3870 for one of the video cards.<br>Both are very fine video cards. The 8800 GT is more powerful. The HD3870 consumes less power and gives more power per watt than the 8800 GT.<br><br>I seriously doubt this will happen but IF the new Mac Pro has either the 8800 GT in SLI or the HD3870 in crossfire, then it will have a video card (x2) more powerful than either the 8800 GTX or 8800 Ultra.<br><br><br><br>

The nVidia 8800GTS 512MB (G92)!!!!<br>nVidia is launching this bad boy next week.<br>The benchtests that I have seen so far show that this card is more powerful than the 8800 GTX.<br>Please, let this video card be available for the next Mac Pro. <br><br><br><br>A German web site jumped the gun and is offering an ASUS 8800 GTS 512MB (G92) for sale. <br>nVidia will take the page down but until then here it is:<br>http://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/a299368.html<br><br><br><br><br>

Support group for those with a video obsession.<br><br><br>Old farts, the hidden caulk of civilization. Jim Atkinson<br>

It already has one review? No price yet, but I'm sure that it'll run $1500. <br><br><br><br>

Where is the support group concerning Angelina's nipples or am I in the wrong thread?<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

I'll have you know I am not obsessed with video cards <br><br>

According to Appleinsider, they say: These will clock up to the predicted 3.2GHz and use new video cards, including NVIDIA's latest Quadro FX workstation models.<br><br><br>so, will that satisfy you or ?<br><br>

The processor; absolutely!<br>The Quadro FX video card; no! <br>The Quadro is an excellent workstation video card. It works very well with video editing, 3D rendering, image editing etc. <br>But it is not optimized for gaming. It is not a good all-around card.<br>Add to the equation that it will probably cost an extra $1500. <br><br>I would rather have a high-end video consumer card that costs less and can do everything that I need. <br><br>
