New Computer Suggestions - 2007/04/17 03:56
So Im thinking of upgrading, Right now I have the original MacBook Pro: 2GHz Intel Core Duo 1GB Ram its nice pretty fast but I need more so Im moving away from the whole desktop. I am buying a mac so please dont suggest a PC I need a Mac. Im whiling to put out the money.
Okay so here is what I have in mind:
24 inch iMac
# 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
# 2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
# 500GB Serial ATA Drive
# NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 128MB SDRAM
# SuperDrive 8X (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
# Apple Keyboard & Mighty Mouse + Mac OS X (US English)
# 24-inch widescreen LCD
# AirPort Extreme
# Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
or
Mac Pro
* Two 2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
* 2GB (4 x 512M
* 500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
* NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB (single-link DVI/dual-link DVI)
* One 16x SuperDrive
* Bluetooth 2.0+EDR module
* Apple Keyboard and Mighty Mouse - U.S. English
* Mac OS X - U.S. English
I have a 23 inch display, I work with large files so HDD space is important. I also use the following software. Adobe CS2, Macromedia MX, QuarkXpress, Corel IX, Parallels. Im also moving more into Pro Tools and Final Cut Pro. Tell me what you think. Im leaning toward the Mac Pro because of Pro Tools. Anyhow any input is helpful. I may save more money so I can get more out for the Mac Pro. So waiting for 10.5 may happen.
Mac Pro 2.66 Ghz Quad-core Xeon, 1 Gb Ram, 250 GB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
