[QUOTE="drcoffee, post: 343872, member: 28245"] Hi there, I’m considering buying a Mac Pro, but would really like to know a few things before I take the plunge (I’ve always been PC based). Sorry about the list, but this will be a big commitment for me (being on a very tight budget). 1) Is it worth waiting for Leopard to come out? Or will I be waiting forever? 2) Does a Mac Pro use normal PC Hard drives? (cheap expandability) 3) Is it possible to wipe the Mac Pro OS and solely run windows? 4) Does a Mac Pro take PC Graphics cards? If not what’s the difference? 5) Would a Mac Pro out perform a similarly priced PC (Dell 690, HP xw8400 for real time HD editing? 6) Why is Mac Pro RAM so expensive? Is there a cost effective alternative? Many thanks, any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Regards Jon [/QUOTE]
