All this talk about Thunderbolt is total ignorance of Thunderbolt's bandwidth and the bandwidth of basic internal hardware components. If Apple is going to make a modular design (for which we've seen zero evidence, you guys have completely fabricated the idea like a game of Telephone), it'll pretty much have to be based on a new, proprietary technology nobody's seen before. Let's not forget that Apple hates cables.
Some of you commenters have no idea what pros like about the Pro.
Some of you Pros have no idea about computer technology and how it works.
Some of you are really living in fantasy land.
Let's all take a deep breath and come back down to Earth.
Why would Apple spend a lot of money and time totally redesigning a product line that, while profitable, isn't a major market, when the alternative is to simply make another computer in the same old box with off-the-shelf hardware at a minimum of cost?
Bottom line, no full speed PCI slots for multiple GPUs = not a Mac Pro.
