We all know that boot up and shutdown speeds mean nothing when real life performance matters, but it's still an interesting experiment.

4GB DDR2 800MhZ FB-RAM
ATi Radeon X1900-XT (512MB G-DDR3)
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB (Boot)
Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB (Video Storage / Scratch Disk)
Mac OSX 10.7 Lion

MacBook Pro Specs:
Intel Core i7 (Quad Core) @ 2.2GhZ
8GB 1333MhZ DDR3 RAM
AMD Radeon 6750M (1GB)
750GB Boot Drive

Thanks for watching! I hope you all enjoy...

  • @GalacticRobotGeek The Mac Pro is my everyday machine because I prefer desktops in general :) Mainly due to the flexibility and the hard drive capabilities. :)

  • Don't you find the 4GB ram a bit limiting? I've got 4GB in my MBP and it uses around 45 - 50% at idle with a few small apps open...

  • @dnbfix Yepp, EXTREMELY limiting.

  • @ItsMyNaturalColour OK, cool. :) Instead of a 2008 Mac Pro which I had planned for earlier, I too decided to go for a new MacBook Pro. It's in transit this very moment and I'm very excited - it will be my first brand new Mac. :)
