As is usual I held off on on the big iron even though I wanted to get a Nehalem beast in the worst way to speed up my ops here. But I said "in a few months" and opted instead for new camera equipment and other more pressing gear. Now looks like I'll wait until the next release again.
Wondering if Apple will get their heads on straight WRT to pricing and perhaps drop the prices $200-$300 across the board. Not sure how well those Nehalem beasts have sold in the crappy economy but maybe if the sales levels took a bit of a dive they'll get the message. Six cores... Can HAL 9000 be that far away?
As for RAM I never though I'd say this but I am already kind of seeing the limits of the 8GB I have installed with SL and various creative apps. Seems like the system itself uses 1GB+ most of the time. Throw in Safari and an email app and there's another GB... it goes away quick.
Do i need 128? God I hope not, but 12-16 would be nice.
