It would be nice if Apple made it easier to change CPU's, also if they got rid of that horribly slow FB-DIMM memory! Would that be the 667MHz Fully buffered error correcting DIMMs that are required to be used with the 1.33GHz front side bus of the Woodcrest family of processors used in the Apple Mac Pro??? What would you replace them with?

I've read reports that the FB-DIMM architecture forced on everyone by Intel is nothing to write home about. Some speculate that a Core 2 Duo properly implemented might come darn close to a Xeon with the FB-DIMMs.

Look at the previous pages to see 1 Core2Dou beat 2 Xeons inside the mac because of the slow memory used by apple...
