[QUOTE="SuB8HaVeN, post: 275247, member: 20214"] You also have to remember that the new quad-core Xeon 5300 series chips will work in the Mac Pro, even without any software or BIOS updates. Anandtech even tried themselves by replacing the dual stock Xeon 5100s, and OSX did recognize all 8 cores. Waiting to buy the Mac Pro doesn't make much sense to me because it will always be upgradeable to dual quad-core Xeon chips. I don't think Apple will be releasing a new Mac Pro for a long while, because their current product will work with the upcoming Xeon 5300s, so all they have to do is throw a couple of those chips in there and come out with another amazing product without actually having to redesign anything at all...
