Sure but we all know which weapon a Jedi would choose, maybe something not as clumsy or random as a blaster, a more elegant weapon for a more civilized time...

(Wow, I have veered so far off into nerd territory I'm not sure I can make my way back! Someone send a search party...I don't even like Star Wars that much...)
 
Nothing new is being announced this week? What about the other Mac models being upgraded to the Xeon chips? Where's the video iPod? Possibly FCP 6 (or at least JVC 25p and Canon 30F and 24F support)?

I like the Mac Pro, but remember guys, quad cores come out "next spring" as well...:thumbsup:
 
Hey a thousand bucks cheaper than a comparable dell with the same specs. Can't argue with that. :)

I'm with you, Jack... I think today's announcement left a lot to be desired.

yeah im ordering one as soon as that page comes up. The wife is gonna kill me.


Questions are:

1. What video card (the X1900 seems to make the best sense)

2. How fast to PS and AE run in Rosetta?
 
I think it is cool that you can have 2TB in the computer alone for not that much money. I just worked out a system fully loaded execpt the RAM was only 4 gigs but I never buy RAM from apple. Also came With a 30" and a 23" and it was sitting around 10,000. Not bad at all for the power your getting.

And I think the big thing is to remeber that this follows a secdual for a new big upgrade to FCP Studio. Have the new intels out at WWDC ( I didn't think they would be shipping till late 4th quater this year but thats all good) and then have FCP studio 2 for realse at NAB 2007. So this is going to be interesting. You have a computer that for all rimes and reasons should be able to edit 4K red footage now we just need FCP to do. Will we get it? I think we might.

Remember there is a performance hit with parallels.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Parallels is not an emulator. The guest OS is talking natively to the CPU there. There is some minor (read: can't perceive it) performance degradation for some of the plumbing, and the guest OS can't use the host 3D support, but other than that, it's not different from using Windows in a dual-boot arrangement. I'm using it with Photoshop and Visual Studio (at the same time) with no performance penalty.
