  • Is the 2009 2.26 8 Core model Mac Pro waaay faster then this one? I looked at bench mark results and there is a significant difference in numbers. Would you recommend this Mac for HD video editing as well?

  • I'm sure I can get more than 68 tracks with 16GB's, because I was getting that many tracks with 6GB's. It should be well over 75 with 16GB's of RAM.

  • @scottfree6 Yep, that's true. I just installed more memory I have 6 pairs of (2x2GB) and 1 pair of 2GB (2x1GB, the original memory). I have the 1 gig stix in the last row of the "b tray".

  • i just upgraded my mac with 8gb of ram so i now have 2x2gb, 2x1gb, and 2x4gb sticks abd to my extreme disappointment my cinebench score remained unchanged. my machine reads 14gb of ram but im wondering if the order in which i have them installed isn't optimal?, or that ram upgrade just doesn't affect the rendering THAT much. the meory is installed in matched pairs as per apple instuction manual, but i have heard that you should install memory descending from larger to smaller, is this true? ty

  • Mac pros gooot baddd GPUs.

  • so much more ram and so tiny difference lollll i guess i ll pass !

  • Gearslutz? Really?

  • Hey will this make cinema 4d faster:)?

  • @EliaForce1984ita Snow Leopard was released in August of 09.
