The Mac Pro Configuration I Shall Patiently Wait For

Published on June 11, 2008

I mentioned the other day that I really need to replace my 2001 G4, as my program usage is extremely limited by the slow processor. I was hoping that Apple would update the Mac Pro this week, so I could pick up one of the current ones in a closeout sale. But they did not update it… yet. So being the budget minded homeowner that I am, I shall patiently wait for the updates to come. This way, it’s less damage to the Somrod savings.

In the meantime, I may as well write down the configuration that the future me will be purchasing. Hopefully I can check back and see how much I saved by waiting, instead of buying something now.
