Re: [FCP-L] Fwd: New Processor, Hard Drive Options Available For Mac Pro and Xse

I am wondering if, in the Dual Quad-Core systems, Apple has a heat problem.

One huge issue I saw with the Quad-Core system was that one could not add as much RAM. I might have been tempted had Apple placed enough slots in there for 32GB of system RAM.

The single thing that I have noticed with Macs that will speed them up is copious amounts of system RAM. One thing I'm not happy about is that Intel-based Macs apparently do not have options for processor upgrades. I upgraded the processor in my old G4-400 (Sawtooth) and the computer was useful for a good 10 years.
