-- Posted by davjs at 10:21 am on Aug. 7, 2006 Apple is in the middle of releasing new products at its WWDC 2006 conference as I type this post! New Products so far: ------------ - Mac Pro $2500 - New Xserves Both sport new woodcrest Intel processors Go to http://www.macrumorslive.com/web/ to read the announcements live as the keynote continues! -- Posted by xxbeckyxx at 10:26 am on Aug. 7, 2006 sounds good -- Posted by Kuzaki at 10:26 am on Aug. 7, 2006 I'm drooling as we speak. All over my keyboard. $2500 works out at around £1310 so a couple of months solid work and I'll be getting me a Mac Pro.     -- Posted by tballa2006 at 10:31 am on Aug. 7, 2006 i got one right now! -- Posted by Kuzaki at 10:33 am on Aug. 7, 2006 Heh heh, this update on MacRumors (grr, there should be a second u in rumours. Silly Americans) made me laugh. 10:32 amhow to combat loss of information on hard drives - backups Well no shit, Sherlock. -- Posted by Stormblazer at 1:06 pm on Aug. 7, 2006 $2500 for that seems awfully high given the components. Bah, that's why I'll probably never buy Apple. They overcharge like crazy. -- Posted by mephisto mortis at 4:09 pm on Aug. 8, 2006 It is overpriced.  I built the same damn thing with opterons, 500 gig harddrive, 4 gig of ram, nvidia 7800GTX, two optical drives, and a 19 inch display for the same price. -- Posted by derailedjet at 5:04 pm on Aug. 9, 2006 Quote: from mephisto mortis at 4:09 pm on Aug. 8, 2006 It is overpriced.  I built the same damn thing with opterons, 500 gig harddrive, 4 gig of ram, nvidia 7800GTX, two optical drives, and a 19 inch display for the same price. Nah, its not the same. The shit you built won't run Mac OS (very easily). I've lost all fatih in Microsoft. I've had no problems with Mac OS (and yes, I use my computer for more than web browsing and word processing, I use it for professional uses and more). -- Posted by mephisto mortis at 8:32 pm on Aug. 9, 2006 Quote: from derailedjet at 8:04 pm on Aug. 9, 2006 Quote: from mephisto mortis at 4:09 pm on Aug. 8, 2006 It is overpriced.  I built the same damn thing with opterons, 500 gig harddrive, 4 gig of ram, nvidia 7800GTX, two optical drives, and a 19 inch display for the same price.

Plus, OS X tiger is priced at $129, does that justify the price discrepancy between the computer I built and a comparable outfitted Mac Pro (which is much more than $129? -- Posted by espresso8097 at 9:25 pm on Aug. 9, 2006 If I wanted Mac OSX id run Virtual PC.  It might be more cost effecient than buying a mac. -- Posted by ranman at 5:51 pm on Aug. 13, 2006 ALRIGHT! THIS IS SO COOL! ANOTHER APPLE PRODUCT THAT WILL CRASH! lol, the mac pro is still going to be decades behind what a pc and linux combined can offer! -- Posted by tybalt at 6:22 pm on Aug. 13, 2006 I'd sell my soul for a Mac Pro.  I'm stuck with a mac mini at the moment and while it's better than a windows pc I'm craving power. -- Posted by Stormblazer at 7:54 pm on Aug. 13, 2006 Tybalt, when was the last time you actually USED a recent "windows" PC? Windows XP doesn't suck that much, I almost never have problems from it. Linux doesn't suck either, I use it quite a bit too. Mac fanatics need to quit labeling PCs as "windows-only" and quit pretending XP is identical to 95/98/ME. -- Posted by 4est at 12:22 pm on Aug. 15, 2006 Quote: from ranman at 5:51 pm on Aug. 13, 2006 ALRIGHT!

Basically take everything in that post and switch it completely. -- Posted by mephisto mortis at 3:02 pm on Aug. 15, 2006 Quote: from 4est at 3:22 pm on Aug. 15, 2006 Quote: from ranman at 5:51 pm on Aug. 13, 2006 ALRIGHT!

Basically take everything in that post and switch it completely. Except for the linux part.  They've had stuff for years that apple and microsoft have recently started/are in the process of implementing.  Assuming, of course, Pc = windows, because god forbid you run something other than windows on pc hardware. -- Posted by 4est at 4:03 pm on Aug. 15, 2006 Quote: from mephisto mortis at 3:02 pm on Aug. 15, 2006 Quote: from 4est at 3:22 pm on Aug. 15, 2006 Quote: from ranman at 5:51 pm on Aug. 13, 2006 ALRIGHT!

Yes, I agree, I didn't mean the linux part.
