The 8-Core Mac Behemoth

page2_blog_entry90_1
If I ever wanted to take this brand new Mac Pro workstation for the replacement of my existing system, that I have to spend a fortune before I am able to own this 8-Core Mac behemoth.

Two Intel's 3GHz Quad-core Xeon "Clovertown" CPU, 4GB capacity of Apple's original Fully-Buffered DIMM memory modules, a total of 1TB of SATA hard disk drives, equipped with only 1 unit of DVD-R/RW Superdrive, Bluetooth EDR(Enhanced Data Rate) and a set of Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mighty Mouse. Of course, AirPort Wi-Fi card is a standard necessity nowadays.

Take a look on the check list below, considered a humble configuration of the system, a price tag of HK$41,700 (US$5,300+). And yet, 23"-inch LCD Display is not included.

Gosh! Apple Macintosh Desktop System is nothing cheap at all.

Picture shown above is the Apple's original FB-DIMM 667MHz DDR2 ECC Memory Module Board. Expensive!
