Another interesting exercise is to configure a Mac Pro to match the specs of the top of the line, maxed out iMac. If you do that, a four thousand dollar iMac starts to look like a bargain.<br /><br />Note, also, that the original iMac was not good enough for professional graphic arts work. The current iMac is, and even previous dual core models were. I suspect that the new quad core iMacs will be good enough for (some) professional sound and video work as well.<br /><br />I agree about the memory. It looks like Apple has gone back to their traditional practice of overpricing.Brucenoreply@blogger.com
