Mother %%%%%%%%%%%%

[assagai]

yeah and note the "starting at" the top spec is gonna be a lot more than 5k!

[Madhawk]

In SA it will be R50000 plus...

[assagai]

Overall though, the prices have come down, the 8 core is cheaper than the previous gen. But I guess we're at the mercy of core as usual.

100% More cores, 50% more performance, 100% more pricey, awesome!

The apple compares very well with an Intel equivalent from Dell.

damn... you'll need to take out a loan! why can't apple introduce a midrange without xeons and ecc ram? would be affordable for some people at least.

[assagai]

I guess they figure the imacs are the midrange.

I guess they figure the imacs are the midrange.

Yeah I figured that, but there are those who would like the easy access to parts and upgrades the mac pro offers. If the screen fails on the imac(rare I know) you need to fork out.

[assagai]

Yeah agreed, but they do at least now have a single processor mac pro option.

It's actually the bargain of the century if you consider the RAM's rated speed.

The integrated memory controller, along with fast DDR3 ECC SDRAM at either 1066GHz or 1333GHz,
