Now, before you can say "zip-a-de-doo-dah", the juiced-up Mac Pro most probably beat you to it already - about 200 bajillion times faster, as a matter of fact. Ok, exaggerating aside, we know how fast the Quad Core is. But is there any proof? Friends, Romans, Steve Jobians... Folks over at PC Pro have clocked the Mac Pro as "teh win" when it comes to running Windows XP.Using Apple's Boot Camp beta, they've sneaked in XP Professional and tested it with some of the more demanding tasks that you can work with in Windows apps: like running Adobe Photoshop and decoding music simultaneously, or rendering 3D graphics. For the latter example, usual tests would give them frame renders of over a minute; with the Mac Pro, they achieved complete renders under 34 seconds. If that's not enough evidence, maybe you want to test it out yourself. If you got a Quad Core Mac Pro (you lucky devil, you), maybe you can open up some videos, music, and slideshows. Then, while that's running in the background, see if you can play your Sudoku widget on the dashboard. Well? Cheering "zip-a-de-doo-dah" yet? Or did your Mac Pro beat you to it again? |

» I just ordered mine a few days ago....
I configed one out to $4600 and it's on the way. Best computer in the world. I still can't really believe i'm getting it. I'm freeeeeeekin out!
Only lame thing for me as a huge mac fan is I will have to use Windows on it until Photoshop and Maya are Intel OSX native. (or almost preferably, until you can run PC apps FULL speed in Intel OSX with full hardware support)
Render, Render, Render, Rawhide!
Mac Pro FTW

My Macbook runs XP pretty fast. I wonder how much faster it could be. Actaully, my internet connection in XP is alot faster than my OS X connection. But everything else is faster in OSX than XP.
