MacPro - the fastest Mac ever
MacPro runs at speeds of up to 3GHz on twin Dual Core Intel Xeon "Woodcrest"
processors. It is roughly twice as fast as it's predecessor the Power Mac
G4 Quad. It is quite simply the best Mac ever and it starts at only £1,699
inc VAT.
It is available in two slower and cheaper versions at 2GHz and 2.66GHz as
well as the top of the range 3GHz machine.
How to choose the right one:
As well as the processor choices, virtually everything
else on the machine is configurable too. There are actually over 4 million
possible configurations!

options. Remember that the processor speed is not necessarily the biggest
factor in the overall performance of the machine - memory and disk access
also have a significant effect.
Up to 3TB storage
Install up to four 750GB hard drives in four independent,
3Gb-per-second Serial ATA drive bays using a new cable-free, direct-attach
system.
High-performance graphics
Every Mac Pro graphics card supports dual
displays and at least one 30-inch display. For added graphics performance,
you can choose upgraded, workstation-class graphics cards that can
power two 30-inch Apple Cinema HD displays.
PCI Express expansion
Install additional PCI Express cards into the
three full-length PCI Express expansion slots, which feature a newly
designed bracket for tool-less installation and removal of cards.
Up
to 16GB RAM
Add up to 16GB of 667MHz DDR2 fully buffered ECC memory — a
new memory architecture that’s up to 256 bits wide and allows
for greater memory capacity, faster speeds, and better reliability.
