[QUOTE="flopsy, post: 1523890, member: 304113"] I get that it's not been released yet but already I'm not impressed with the new Pro in terms of what I was looking for from a [I]professional's[/I] tool. I was hoping for something ultimately less hamstrung as the Pro's already are compared to what's available in Windows/Linux-land, but if anything it's kind of hamstrung taken to the logical conclusion IMO. What you'll end up is with a giant sprawl of separate boxes to achieve what was done in a single box before, and ultimately nothing is actually as upgradeable as they make it out to be since the GPU's are now completely fixed and everything in the box is made as unupgradeable as possible. So it looks like I'm looking to eke more life out of my older Pro's while I consider my options. I know that it's possible to upgrade CPU's within the same generation, but how about later hex's? Could I turn my 2010's into 2012's (especially as nothing changed in terms of the basic hardware) and drop in one of those CPU's (or better)? [/QUOTE]
