[fire_storm]

Hi

i am planning to buy a MAC pro and i want to see how well it performs agents a quad core CPU PC (the mac i want to get is 8 core 2.8 xeon)


thanks

I was about to give you a bunch of great, insightful links and completely answer all of your lingering questions...

and then I saw you're buying a mac.
