MAC Pro Arrives...finally
The fastest Mac ever has landed.

Will this hasten the masses from Microsoft Windows to Apple OSX? Maybe. I do know with the use of Intel chips and now more support of previous Windows only apps, the landscape of personal computing is about to change. Mark my words, the reverberations from the partnership of Apple and Intel will be felt for a long time to come. Also, taking into consideration that the release (whenever that is) of Windows Vista will result is more sales for Apple as well. (I have lamented enough about Vista, check the blogs please.)
Don't get me wrong, Microsoft is not going anywhere, they are too large and diversified into so many markets for them to fade away. I am saying the the "all mighty" market share of pc vs. Macs is about to tilt in favor of Apple.
Anyways check out the Mac Pro, this is really one seriously fast machine that is very resonably priced.

Meet Mac Pro. Running at speeds up to 3GHz, Mac Pro not only completes the Mac transition to Intel processors but delivers advanced performance, workstation graphics, and up to 4.9 million possible configurations.

Ushering in a new era of outstanding performance — and completing the Mac transition to Intel processors at the same time — the new Mac Pro introduces the 64-bit Dual-Core Intel Xeon “Woodcrest” processor to the Mac lineup. Running at up to 3GHz, it’s a state-of-the-art processor that — from day one — makes the Mac Pro one of the fastest desktop computers on the planet.

Quad Core. Up to 3GHz.

Every Mac Pro in the lineup features two of the newest Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors. Two dual-cores. One powerful quad workstation. And you get to decide how fast it flies: 2GHz, 2.66GHz, or 3GHz. And at 3GHz, the Mac Pro runs up to 2x faster than the Power Mac G5 Quad.(1)
