Goodbye old PowerPC G5’s
Two 2GHz, 2.66GHz, or 3GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5100 series processors
Eight FB-DIMM slots on two memory riser cards (4 slots per card) supporting up to 16GB of main memory
Up to 2TB of internal storage
Multiple graphics card configurations including two, three, or four NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT cards
Four independent 3Gb/s Serial ATA cable-free, direct attach hard drive bays; four internal hard drive carriers included
16x SuperDrive with double-layer support (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
And just for shits and giggles, how much would a maxed out Mac Pro cost?
Only $19,959.48, I should hope free shipping comes with this considering tax alone is more than some PC’s out there, it’s also larger than some African countries GDP… For that amount of money I’d be expecting something like Deep Thought in return, and the Time Machine function in OSX Leopard damn well better take me back in time, 1.21 gigawatts or no…
That said, send PayPal donations to the usual address…

And the scary thing? In, what, 3 years time that spec won’t seem as extravagant as it does now.
True, I still fondly remember my first PC, a Pentium II 300MHz processor with 64mb or RAM, now that would struggle to open IM clients
If you told me then about computers with ONE 3GHz processor I would have laughed at you, never mind ones with 2 and dual core ones at that…
