[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1618858, member: 56379"] Good deal…thanks for clarifying!:) There really isn't much difference between these two Mac Pro models. For it to make a "real" difference…you would need to be getting a Mac Pro 3,1. I see in your profile you already have a Mac Pro 1,1. For about $100 and some elbow grease…you can purchase a pair of 3.0ghz quad core cpu's (8-cores, x-5365 cpu's) and upgrade your Mac Pro 1,1…and it will basically be the same as an 8-core 3.0ghz Mac Pro 2,1. - Nick p.s. Of course…you can purchase this Mac Pro 2,1 for not much more than $100…then go for it.:) [/QUOTE]
