Mac Pro Specifications & Review
Apple introduced their next-generation Pro desktop system at WWDC 2006 in August. Updated to its current configuration in March 2009, the Mac Pro is an Intel-based system using one 2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon CPU and offers 8MB shared L3 cache per processor, 3GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 graphics with 512MB memory, 640GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7200-rpm hard drive, and a 18x double-layer SuperDrive. It's available today at The Apple Store for $2499. The Mac Pro is available with configure-to-order options including a choice a 2.93GHz processor, up to 16GB of RAM, 4TB of storage, dual optical drives, and multiple graphics cards.
For $3299, a model with two 2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processors is available. This unit ships with 6GB RAM, upgradeable to 32GB.
Apple claims that there are more than a mind-boggling 4.9 million possible configurations for the Mac Pro.
Even the base configuration of these big tower machines is an awesome powerhouse, the expandability can take you into the stratosphere (eg: up to two 2.93GHz GHz Quad-Core Xeon CPUs, 32GB of RAM, up to 4TB of internal storage, four video cards, two SuperDrives, Xserve support, RAID, hot swappable drives, and remote management while running Mac OSX Server).
The Mac Pro is the most powerful, expandable computer Apple has ever offered, and if raw computing performance and versatile expandability in a Mac OS machine is what you need, look no further. The main criticism is that at an entry-level $2499, the Mac Pro is a bit pricey compared with some of the PC competition (although it's a lot cheaper than that first Quadra 700 that sold for $6,000 without a keyboard), and if mail I receive is any measure, there would be a ready market for a somewhat less capable, less expensive professional desktop Mac offering more versatility and expansion than the high-end iMacs and selling for $1,699 or so. That, and even though it's offered free of charge on even the lowliest of Macs, be prepared to cough up an extra 50 bucks to go wireless.
