Apple Mac Pro MA970LL/A Desktop
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend Start your engines, all eight of them. Eight-core processing power was once only top-of-the-line. Now it comes standard. This time around, performance is more phenomenal than ever - up to two times faster than the previous standard-configuration Mac Pro. And with the multi-core technology enhancements of Mac OS X Leopard, the new Mac Pro is a force to be reckoned with. For what ever your working on, either Photoshop or Final Cut Pro enjoy… Product details and pricing info |

- Mac Pro Quo
- This Mac gives you what you pay for. It works great right out of the box.
Adding more Ram and such is suggested based on what you need it for.
It runs quiet and the only problems I have are due to the software. - 2008-07-25, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Wicked Fast
- I purchased the item from Amazon b/c i'm a Prime member, quick shipping. I upgraded the standard build to have an additional TB of hd space (www.macsales.com) and added 8gb of ram. the thing is wicked fast. The sound of the machine is also very low, which is great. I have parallels running my windows vm's (xp and vista) and am now testing out fusion. I added a 2nd video card (same as the one it came with) and now have 3 monitors (fusion beta 2.0 support multi monitor) but i'm not super happy with the speed of the machine which i exported (using the fusion VM Ware export tool). I think it could also be a beta thing. All in all, i used to be a Dell guy and now for the money i'm definately happy with the Mac Pro b/c for about 1k less i have an 8 core power house. I expect this will by my workhorse computer for some time.

- Great machine
- This is a well-built, fast, quiet machine. I know of nothing better in a desktop computer, if the price is not an issue. It runs applications quickly. Adding or changing hard drives is a moment's work. The fit and finish of the computer is unparalleled.
The machine has 8 cores but today's software does not really make use of all this power. Perhaps tomorrow's will.
I recommend this computer without hesitation. - 2008-06-22, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- fast, but
- It is fast for general works, not so much when running APPL's motion. For that, you need a lot of RAM, a lot!
