[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1610231, member: 56379"] If you install an SSD...then the 7200rpm HD will be very slow!;) So no issues here.:) No problems here either. The Mac Pro 1,1 maxes out at 32gig of ram...and some other Mac Pro's max. out with as much as 128gig of ram. Since a lot of ram is important to you...make sure you price how much a ram upgrade will be. Mac Pro 1,1's for example have VERY expensive ram (but less expensive on eBay). Newer model Mac Pro ram is less expensive. We could be talking hundreds of dollars...so worth considering what upgrades will cost before you buy (so you have an idea of the actual total cost this computer will run you). Sounds great. Both would certainly work.:) I just wanted to mention. If you've been looking at quad-core Mac Pro 5,1's...you might also want to look at 8-core Mac Pro 4,1's. - CPU benchmarks for a 2010 2.8ghz quad-core Mac Pro 5,1 = 8,369 - CPU benckmarks for a 2009 2.26ghz 8-core Mac Pro 4,1 = 13,837 - CPU benckmarks for a 2009 2.66ghz 8-core Mac Pro 4,1 = 16,503 That's a BIG difference. If you have software that will use all 8 cores...the 8-core 4,1 model will be wayyyy faster!:) Of course everything depends on price/budget. Wow...didn't realize you were that committed to buying so soon. Sometimes it takes a while to find the right computer...at the right price...and be lucky enough to have the high bid at the end of the auction. Again...good luck! - Nick [/QUOTE]
