Hi all, I'm about to buy a mac pro 8 core Westmere 2011 and have a few questions if someone can help?
The new 8 core machine has 2.4GHz processors whereas the model from a few years back had 2.8 or 3GHz. Does that mean the newer models are slower,
or is 2.4GHz as fast or faster than 3GHz these days?
I do a bit of 3D work using Cinema 4d. Why would I benefit from a 2nd graphics card, I thought the rendering was done using the processors?
Many thanks.
