    Nice... but in the meantime, when is Apple gonna release their new iMacs? Next week?

    I'm thinking they'll release new iMacs to coincide with Windows 7. #macpro

    Oh my...

    Sometimes I wish I actually had a need for a workstation like this. I also wish I had a magic wand so I could just turn my aging Powermac MDD G4 into this. #macpro

    wow, that's one powerful machine... and would people use it for? Editing pictures? Editing home videos?

    C'mon... Until awesome games similar to the PC comes to the MAC, this would be futile.

    Also, I can't think how much this would cost... x3 of what it would be if it was a PC?

    Not being biased or PC-sided, but I was just wondering and thinking of the use and cost for this configuration. If there was really a good use for this (with a fairly good price), I would definitely buy this. #macpro

    @zaghy2zy: There is a good use for this, it just may not be of much to you personally. With that in mind, a little extra gets you an OS with a huge library of games optimized for it for whenever the mood strikes. #macpro

    @zaghy2zy: I do music and could definitely use one of these bad boys and probably will.

    As it is, musicians often supplement host-based software with PCI cards for extra horsepower. Having this kind of power built in means you can record and process more tracks with better effects that put a heavy load on the CPU, use more virtual instruments, etc. without buying additional hardware. #macpro

    @zaghy2zy: ok to everyone who replied...

    ahahaha, I was thinking this was somewhat for general public type of mac until I posted this comment... and I was lazy enough to correct myself. But anyways, I see more uses for this MAC powerhouse as a work machine, based on your replies, than what I have actually thought of.

    Now, I see this as something that's really helpful at more points than what I thought of. #macpro

    They're rather subtle changes. Sure, the procs have been bumped up, but it doesn't make much of a difference.
