[QUOTE="wmprice1240, post: 909607, member: 99551"] Hi, welcome to the forums. Based on your needs, your specs are fine. In some ways, the MacPro may be 'too much' of a machine for you. You could get all the functionality you want at a lower price point with the iMac. The MacPro is Apple's high end offering and is typically targeted to graphics/development/engineering professionals. Of course, there is nothing to prevent you from getting a MacPro, but you may want to look at some other model. Also, you can typically find refurbished or used MacPro's from a variety of sources (Appple, eBay etc). A RAID card allows you to configure hard disks to act together as a single unit. Typically you use a RAID card for performance, redundancy etc. Again, based on the needs you described you do not need a RAID card. [/QUOTE]
