So after a while of thinking about it, I went for it. I do a lot of 3D work and motion graphics... My MP renders something every day and usually renders stills all night, so I went all out:

:eek: Amazing! I hope you can actually utilize it. How many of your apps are actually 64-bit?

BTW, why not run 10.6.3?

As I was uploading it, the 10.6.3 update popped up haha. As for 64 bit... All programs and os (both windows and mac) are 64 bit, When I click render it brings a tear to my eye to see its speed.

Ended up getting it from OWC.com for around $1100. Expensive, but very worth it.
