[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 891339, member: 56379"] Yeah...if you feel the need to upgrade the video card...or the computer you're looking at needs one...then that's a big chunk of money on top of the purchase price. I was pretty much assuming that the Mac Pro you're considering was complete & ready to, and maybe just needed some extra ram. BTW...I purchased my 1st generation Mac Pro about 8 months ago for $1050 (636 pounds). It came with 3 gig of ram, and I purchased 2 more gigs on e-Bay (4 x 512mb) for $34.00 (20.50 pounds). So my Mac Pro setup (1st gen. Mac Pro, X-1900 video card, and 5 gigs of ram for $1084 US (656 pounds). So what I'm saying is...I got my Mac Pro setup for half the price your considering (1300 pounds)...so if you keep looking, a better deal may present itself! Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
