[QUOTE="NSMacGuru, post: 1902041, member: 402209"] What is the performance comparison with your 2008 Mac Pro 24gb RAM with a new MacMini M1 and 16gb RAM? Since you already have an external monitor, etc., that may be the quickest plug-and-play way to go, and certainly not an enormous expense. If you can hold out a bit, the 2nd-generation M1 Mac Mini should be released in the not too distant future... This Reddit thread on that very question may be helpful: [MEDIA=reddit]macpro/comments/jz2uvg[/MEDIA] One comment I particularly liked: You'll save on electricity costs, but lose the home-heating benefit of the Mac Pro :D [/QUOTE]
