Mac Pro - Fast, OSX and Windows... Wow
Pros
Fast, Windows, OSX, what more could you want?
Cons
Limited to 2 gb in Windows 32 bit.
Recommended it?
Yes
This is a well designed professional grade workstation. It has proven to be reliable, fast and quiet.
Hardware:
The Matter Aluminum finish is attractive. Hard drives are easily replaceable, and the graphics cards easy to swap.
I find the entire unit to be too heavy, and when I take it to customer's locations, I get charged overweight fees by the airline for checked luggage.
Updates:
Six months in, Windows Vista x64 installs and works on the Mac Pro, and it actually takes advantage of all 9 gb of ram in this beast.
This machine provides a unique opportunity to directly compare OSX and Windows on the same hardware. If not for relatively poorly performing 3D drivers on OSX, I would spend more time using OSX. I find that I end up using Windows XP 32 on the mac more than anything else, due to the stability and speed of the drivers. Vista x64 is "faster" at strictly computational tasks due large memory support. OSX is probably the most stable of the operating systems, but the trade off between reliability and performance is too far skewed to reliability with OSX, for me at least.
