$2200 is manageable, but I'd want the card that Topper's been drooling over and at least 2 500gb drives. That puts me at about $3300.<br><br>Ugh. Anyone got any freelance work for me? <br><br><br>[color:purple]Work With ____! </font color=purple>
Sure did.<br><br>Looks like the iMac is the next machine for me. Even with the educational price, it's about $120 more than the previous generation mac pro.<br><br>my photos
I see seaburg uses those FB-DIMMs, I dont' think there are DDR3 FB-DIMMs yet, though there's going to be. <br><br>I wonder if you can upgrade it to the DDR3 FB_DIMMS once they arrive<br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®

I really happy with this new Mac Pro. <br>Powerful Harpertown processors along with a powerful 8800 GT video card. <br>The price is reasonable. <br>As a matter of fact, compare the price to HP or Dell and it is very reasonable.<br><br>I will add more memory from a third party vendor, probably OWC.<br><br><br><br>
Yeah that's pretty sweet. $2299.<br><br>I thought my next Mac would be a 24" iMac so I could keep the price around $2000 or less, but the Quad for $2299 is VERY tempting OSX. Not ready for a new one yet, mine's only 3+ yrs old, but in 18-24 months I will.<br><br>And the add-ons,.. forget them!! Apple charges way too much for upgrades... I can get RAM and huge HDs much cheaper than they charge. Buy the basic Mac and furbish it myself --- gee what more fun could a Geek ask for ? <br><br>David (OFI)
