New Mac Pros?

[tuqqer]

As a tower-loving fool, I love that they may be putting out another set of Mac Pros!

Another tower-lover here. I really hope there will be more Mac Pros.

I suspect that Mac Pro sales are slow at least in part because some of us potential buyers are waiting for new models.

With the way Apple has abused the pro end of the market in recent years, I expect no more than a modest CPU and GPU update rather than anything new if Apple revises the Mac Pros for 2012.

...But I hope that they'll surprise me with something good.

Fingers are crossed...

boy I wish these rumor sites would hurry up and figure out exactly what Apple is going to do with the pro line. My ulcers just can't take too much more of this flip flopping.

I have fallen behind a little on keeping up with server motherboards, but I am pretty sure Intel has not leaked/announced a dual socket Sandy Bridge board. That means no significant upgrades for the Mac Pro until at least April.

Is there a recommended build for a hackintosh with a Socket 2011 motherboard yet? Six cores and 32 GB of RAM should be enough for most professionals, except for people that always install updates as fast as possible.

one of our clients orders iMacs for their graphic artists, and Mac Pros for the video production department.

best tool for the job, etc.

Give me an iMac that can run 3 screens, 24GB of RAM and an adapter for my 4gbps fibre connection to the SAN and we can talk about replacing my MacPro. I really don't need much internal drive space since everything is on the network.

so you're just waiting for the thunderbolt -> fiber adapter.
