[QUOTE="john2in3, post: 1169555, member: 152265"] Well the title says it all. What is the performance comparison between a dual quad (8 core) 3.0 GHZ older mac pro "Harpertown" vs. a newer "Nehalem"/ "Gainstown" that is running slower with dual quad processors (8 core) at 2.26 GHZ? I would be using this for Final Cut Pro/ Video editing and for rendering with Apple Motion. I have a dual quad 2.26 Nehalem with tons of memory and it does not quite shred the video editing, I am wondering if a major increase in processor speed to 3.0 would improve things. Yet the older processors lack HT right? Also I have access to cheap dual quad 3.0s ($1500 or so). So just asking for your opinions out there. [/QUOTE]
