Recommended Posts

If i wasn't going to China in 10 days, i would be ordering this right now:

Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

4GB (4x1GB) (ram from crucial)

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT with 512MB

500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s

500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s

One 16x SuperDrive

AirPort Extreme Card (Wi-Fi)

2 x Apple 30" Cinema Displays (after they were updated)

Sometimes I think you are really rich :o

I'm gonna wait till leopard gets fixed.

What its notoriously bad in leopard that will stop anyone from switching?

if you are in post production what you need is a dedicated encoder card not 8 cores.... 1 dedicated encoder card will offload all that work into chips that can do it in highly optimized fashions... thats how they've been doing it for decades now... thats how they use to edit movies on pentium 60Mhz computers... have a dedicated MPEG encoder card and high speed RAID arrays and you are set... and no it wasn't slow... with dedicated cards you didnt use the processor to edit the pictures and video

And that its why even some micro studios today use Amigas instead of 20,000 monsters :p

The fact that so many people upgrade and/or switch everyday makes it bad. You don't want to have something everybody has, do you now? :whistle:
