Apple may be about to equip its Mac Pro desktop with Intel four-core Xeon processors, if an inadvertent posting on the company's UK online store is to be believed. The Mac maker's taken the offending entry down now, but not before a number of websites spotted it overnight. A search for 'Mac' yielded a number of entries, one of which mentioned the Mac Pro now with "quad-core or eight-core processing power".
The Mac Pro currently ships with a pair of dual-core Xeons, allowing Apple to claim the machine contains four processing cores. Substitute the dualies for quad-core chips and you have an eight-core Mac Pro.

Yes it does. It's also quite amusing.
Every retailer pretty much has to sell at the fixed price and with the same terms. Sucks.
Whoa, what a bargain!
It has to come with a solid gold case set with 18K diamonds for that price.

* Possible beyond that, but Apple was unable to confirm the information.

Because Windows doesn't run all of the software the parent poster wants and/or because $150-$400 every few years for an operating system isn't a huge dent in his or her gaming budget.

I wasnt referring to the price of Windows.....
It's something like when the (quad or dual?) G5s broke way back when. It was crazy. This is about forty-seven times crazier.
Just wish I could afford 1/180th of the price. Ah well.
HP has had 8-core workstations for months.
