[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1541886, member: 56379"] I do have to mention one thing (in case you're not aware). Many applications are not written (or written well) to take advantage of all those cores. So don't expect all your apps to all of a sudden "fly" when going from 4 to 8 cores. When I sold my 2006 Mac Pro...I purchased/upgraded to a 2009 8-core Mac Pro (16 virtual cores). After about 6-9 months or so...I realized that many of my computing tasks were not taking advantage of all those cores...and I sold it. So I just wanted to mention this...so if/when you notice this...you will know ahead of time. But still...for the small amount of money we're talking...I would still do the project!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
