re: the Quad core XPS for $2349
Sure is. But that’s only one Quad core... Add the second one and see what the price comparison with a Mac.
“Sure is. But that’s only one Quad core... Add the second one and see what the price comparison with a Mac.”
Per the Apple Store: $2499 for “Two 2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Woodcrest processors”, i.e. one quad core. The “second one” would raise the price to $3997.
I know the Dell cited isn’t comparable to the Pro processor—I never said it was—but how much would the Blu-Ray/monitor/GeForce 8800/xtra gig ram drive that entry Mac Pro up?
I guess we can’t know, really, since you can’t add a Blu-Ray or a GeForce 8800 to it.
