The New Mac Pro

Have you heard that Apple announced their latest major update to their Mac Pro line of Macintosh computers. I never had a Mac Pro, but it sounded like an awesome thing to have. I have always heard of dual, even quad core computing, but this is amazing. The newer Mac Pros now have two Quad-Core processors featuring the latest Intel processors according to the CNET Buzz Out Loud podcast (Episode 637). However, the Mac Pro starts at a hefty $2800 US, but you can go with the quad-core configuration for less. I am so amazed that computing has come so far in only a year... The Mac Pro also features a huge RAM capacity at up to 32 GB. I can't imagine using such large amounts of power for myself. But I can see a wonderful use for graphic design, video production, and even servers.

I'm not endorsing CNET, but I just love one of their podcasts, Buzz Out Loud. You can listen to, and subscribe to the podcast at bol.cnet.com
