[QUOTE="EGGO, post: 834065, member: 48866"] You won't use the "8 cores" for what you're going to use the computer for. You do "occasional" graphic design (I'll take it as you do light work on it. ) [b]Get an iMac.[/b] I know you said you want to do upgrades but you said you don't buy a new computer every few years and for what you'll be doing, your upgrades won't be spent on computer parts, more like peripherals. Monitors, mice, software, external hard drive, audio equipment even. You probably won't even need to do much with RAM. I have friends that do graphic design as professionals, probably still doing more demanding work than what you'll do and they're feeling good with their iMac. I can tell right now the work I do is many times more demanding than what you'll be doing and I only needed to upgrade the RAM on my Mac Pro to 4GB, nothing else. I can almost assuredly say you won't be using what the Mac Pro has to offer. [/QUOTE]
