Mac Pro

Also at the World Wide Developer Conference, a brand spankin’ new desktop computer was introduced: the Mac Pro. Although the casing remains virtually unchanged, this beast is packing hardware fit for hardcore computer users that need to push their system to the max. Here’s a quick run-down of the specs:

•  Dual-Dual Core 2.66 GHz Xeon 5100 Processor, upgradeable to 2xDual 3 GHz
• 1 GB FB-DIMM RAM (2×512 MB), expandable to 16 GB
• 4 SATA Slots for harddrive configuration
• 4 PCI-Express Slots (One extra-wide, taken by GPU)
• NVidia GeForce 7300 GT (256 MB VRAM), configurable to ATI Radeon X1900 XT or Quadro FX 4500 (512 MB VRAM)

Consumers might will not be happy at the price tag of the Mac Pro, with the base price starting at $2,499.00 US. However, they will be happy as the desktop starts shipping today. Full info after the jump.
