[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1289389, member: 56379"] Rumor has it that Apple will be releasing new Mac Pros soon...so maybe you are best to wait if you're seriously considering a Mac Pro (but who knows how accurate rumors are). If you can wait...then you can either choose between a new Mac Pro model...or purchase a previous generation refurbished Mac Pro. More ram does not necessarily mean better performance. If you have one application open (let's say Photoshop)...and let's say Photoshop runs perfectly well with 16 gig of ram...having 90 gig won't do a bit of good (make things any faster). But with 90 gig you would be able to have MANY apps open at the same time without any ram issues. On the other hand...if you have a Mac Pro with 4 gig of ram (and Photoshop would run much better with 16gig)...then increasing the ram from 4gig to 16 gig would certainly improve performance.
