[FCP-L] Re: Mac Pro 8 Core - Speed Question

You have to do your homework. Looking at the Apple Store page this morning, an 8-core 2.26 with 12GB RAM is $3599. A 4-core 2.93 with 12 GB RAM is $4349. A big part of that difference is how they configure the RAM chips. 3rd party RAM will save you bucks.

My point is that if you go with a 4-core, you really do want the faster processor, so it becomes a wash. In this comparison, the 8-core is actually the cheaper machine for basically similar performance, from what I've seen of the benchmarks.
