[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1482970, member: 56379"] As far as 4-core vs. 8-core...remember that if the software you're using isn't written to take advantage of multiple cores...then if you only have a core 2 duo or an 8-core Mac Pro...you won't see a tremendous speed difference (in regards to having many cores). Regarding the 2.26 8-core Mac Pro. In my post above I was recommending NOT getting this model Mac Pro...unless you know for sure that the software you use takes advantage of multiple cores. If not...a 2.26ghz 8-core Mac Pro surfing the internet with Safari (for example)...won't be tremendously faster than a 2.26ghz core 2 duo MacBook. Maybe you can tell us why you want an 8-core Mac Pro? Your initial post only mentioned wanting to run 3 monitors. - Nick [/QUOTE]
