How much better is the faster MB?
Hello. I have an oppurtunity to pick up a 2.66 Ghz Mac Pro for crazy cheap. After talking with the seller I am convinced that it is a fair sale and not a scam. But that's not what this is about. Anyway, I was wondering, I originally was going to get the 3.0 GHz, but with this other one available it got me thinking. So, in short, How much of a difference have you noticed/heard between the two motherboards?
I saw some tests in a current mac magazine that basicly said it was matter of hundreths of seconds difference. Also, if important the other specs are: 2 Gig RAM 1 250 Gig HD 1 500 Gig HD 1 NVIDIA 7300 GT graphic card. The graphic card I will probably replace first and then add more ram as needed. More revelant info: Plan on using FCP Studio and Shake for my next film project. Will also be using Photoshop. (and will be shooting the film in HD) Thanks for looking :P Alden |
The motherboards are equal, and if you put on your hard hat you can even pop quad-cores into that motherboard. (It has been done already).
You'll want the ATI 1900 for SHAKE /Motion previews adn the new FX in FCP. Gunleik |
