[QUOTE="Morgan19, post: 1213950, member: 4243"] Our design firm is looking to upgrade our Macs so I'm doing a bit of research. Right off the bat though, I'm confused about the number of processor cores available, namely the Mac Pro with a 2.8 quad-core vs. two 2.4 quad-cores (8-core). Our shop still uses CS3 now and will be upgrading to CS5 along with the new machinesp; in general our daily programs are Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Flash, and Dreamweaver. No real video work. Some quick research seems to indicate that Mac OS and most of the programs we'd be running day by day don't use that many cores, so the 8-core solution might be overkill? Would the 2.8 quad-core make the most sense for us? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
