I was pretty depressed to hear that Apple went ahead and proclaimed October as the month of Leopard. I was really hoping for June, but alas… I can understand if they need time.
I was listening to Macbreak Weekly tonight while exercising and I listened to the panel bring up the merits of the 8-core Mac Pro and… well, it just seems like for me, that’s just money not very well spent. I should set my sights back down to the 4-core level because I just won’t be pushing the machine that hard. With that in mind, I could do two Macs like we wished for $6,400. That’s probably way more reasonable in this day and age.
Still, now I get to wait until October. Oh, the humanity.

I was already wondering where you’d need 8 freaking cores for
Two cores, ok, 4 may even cut it, but 8?
I think you made the better choice to set back a bit and get two nice machines. Or get your wife that nice iMac and beef your MacPro up with some more RAM?
Cheers and maybe you can setup some nice Linux workstation with Beryl/Compiz in the meanwhile?

I actually even cut the RAM back to 4gb, with the intention of upgrading the RAM in the future if need be. I wanted to go ahead and get the costs back to something I could actually afford…
