Ok, so I've come to that joyous season once again where I get to upgrade to an updated Mac. I've just sold my dual G5 Power Mac and I'm looking at getting a New Mac Pro. With several reviews pointing that the new 4 core Nehalem chips are out performing the 8 core Xeons. I'm left trying to guess what would be best.
Since Grand Central is designed to take advantage of the multi-core processors for the average app, Do you think I would be better off getting an 8 core Xeon or the 4 core Nehalem? I'm guessing that Grand Central will help the 8 core Xeons over take the 4 core Nehalems, and the added capacity of additional RAM, but I'm curious if any dev's out there running these could give me some advice or tips.
Thanks,
Op
