[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1169483, member: 56379"] Didn't you just post that 3.2 (8 core) setup for sale? Didn't realize you were thinking of upgrading to another Mac Pro. In any case...check out these benchmarks: [url=http://www.primatelabs.ca/geekbench/mac-benchmarks/]Mac Benchmarks[/url] ...if I've identified your current computer correctly (2008 Mac Pro 2 x 3.2ghz, 8 cores)...it gets a benchmark score of 9979...and the newer 2010 Mac Pro with (2 x 2.4ghz, 8 cores)...it gets a benchmark score of 12525. It's usually tough to find benchmarks that also include the video card performance...since many times there are a number of different choices. But based on the processor info (which of course is very important)...yes the newer Mac Pro is faster. I guess it would all come down to is the performance increase & the financial numbers make sense to do the upgrade (how much you can sell the old computer for, and how much $$$ do you need to add to purchase the newer computer). Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
