[Matt T]

I hate to crash the party but why do we need the same MacRumors updates posted here? What's the point? It seems like we're all at MacRumors watching the updates - why do we need to read them twice? :|

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

256MB RAM in the base spec? WTF?

[TruckWEB]

Same case, new inside....

Oh well....

2.6Ghz Dual, 256MB RAM WHAT??? Superdrive.... for 2499$

[corrosive23]

once again apple rips you off in terms of ram. Good god.

[Cyrana]

The 256 RAM standard seems insanely stupid, though... Wonder what the graphics card is.

[ipodman715]

$2499

Ships today.

[saxondale.]

Sorry, but for a pro machine, you expect at least 1gb

[ad345zAdZ0d9_]

1999 called, It wants its default RAM configuration back..

[REM2000]

Just read engadget :D

[sundayx Veteran]

typo by macrumors (or not, everyone is reporting 256)

"One standard configuration... Dual 2 2.66 dual core Xeons, 1 GB, 667 MHz FB-DIMM. 250GB HD. Nvidia geforce 7300GT, 256 MB and 16xc superdrive for $2499"

engadget

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

Well i'd of hoped for a 512MB minimum.

How on earth can they spec a PRO workstation with 256MB RAM standard, yet the Mac Mini gets 512MB standard! Who is doing the math over in Cupertino!

Ho hum.. roll on the updates!

[laz45]

engadget link has lots of pictures

[Matt T]

Maybe that's a typo - MacRumors might mean 256mb VRAM.

[saxondale.]

Thank god, that seems alot better, shame for the gfx

[AppleDave Veteran]

Yes, that 256mb ram is rediculous.

[KeR]

its 1GB of memory...not sure where you people got 256?

Ah - that explains it. I thought it made no sense!

[DrunkenMaster]

C'mon Steve. I want a new iPod announcement.

Mac Pro tempting ... if I win the lottery! :p
