Two 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
16GB (8x2GB) (I would go 32GB of ram but the expense out ways the reward.)
1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB
Two 18x SuperDrives
Apple Cinema HD Display (30" flat panel)
Apple Mouse
Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (English) and User's Guide
AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi Card with 802.11n
iWork preinstalled
AppleCare Protection Plan for Mac Pro - Auto-enroll
My real question is the video card: Should I go with the Nvidia or replace it with the ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB? Also should I put a raid in the machine for backup purposes. Advice please.
The unit will be used for final cut pro, after effects, Huge 5GB or more graphic files with 30+ layers and lightwave 3-D.
