Looks like Apple needs to fix Mac OS X 10.5/10.6 core service. I suspect 2010 Mac Pro model or Arrandale MBP may also suffer similar issue as it's OS compatibility with Core microarchitecture. It's sad Apple only spent resource on iPad instead of Pro line product.
Got a tip for us?

I agree, but just Wait till the FanBoys get a hold of your comment, they dont like people like us...
I have to say that the iPad, iPhone and iPod even though they are cool and money maker to Apple, I wished they would focus much harder on their computer business.
Specially when it comes to the professional end.
Cinema displays need a huge update, 30" is so damn old, MacPro's have not been redesign in ages, nothing wrong with their current case, but that is a proof Apple is not pushing the envelope on that segment.
That's too bad.

MP3's are a performance hog and a waste of resources.
HTML 5!!!!!!!!!
HILARIOUS!!!!!
I'm having the same issue with my 27" i7. Logic running for 5 seconds of record time ramps up the fans to 5000 RPM. One of the major selling points of the original apple logic was that fans would not ramp up when you were recording, they would wait until record was disengaged or it would self disengage if the core got to hot. When I called Pro Software support to open up a case they said this was still the case with Logic Studio 8 and 9.
When I play music in any format I'm having the same issue, mp3, wav, aiff etc. Oddly enough any other resource intensive application such as video editing does not cause the fans to ramp up. I'm really bummed out about the whole thing, I hope they fix it.

Serious.. can all you macbook pro fanboys go to your own topic and whine about when it's being released?! I'm seriously getting annoyed with all the 'what about our macbook pro' in mac pro topics.. STOP IT!
In mine, and about 6 people I know's experience that is absolutely how Apple UK operates.
no surprise to me.
Don't struggle to justify another purchase...
just don't make one.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with audio problems. I have (early 2006 mini), (late 2006 macbook), (early 2009 macbook), (latest imac 21.5" 3.33GHz), and the only one I can plug speakers into without tons of various noises at different times is the 2006 mini. The newest imac is the noisiest of them all. If I had to depend on my imac for audio, I couldn't unless I streamed it to the mini. I have tried line suppressors, played around with ups', tried various external usb interfaces, but nothing helps. Why are mac audio outputs so damn noisy?
Hey, at least they replaced your battery... I was forced to buy a new one when mine swelled to 3 times normal size. They told me it was part of the design - to swell rather than explode. What a crock.
Do u realize the upkeep on a hackintash? I don't mean the people who are still running 10.5.8 for whatever reason, I'm saying people who want the latest software and updates from apple are kinda screwed if you want to go that route. I don't want to spend 3 days trying to get the latest version working just to have it break the next.
Apple screws you over anyways. Look at all the PPC people who could not upgrade to Snow Leopard. I know quite a few people who have hackintoshs, including myself, when an update comes all we have to do is replace a few kext, nothing big, and easy to do. As long as you have a supported video card, and an intel chip, you are all set, and good to go.
Well, I did just that. I built an E8400 desktop last year and put 10.5 on it. It has worked marvelously well, so much in fact that I built ANOTHER system (Core i7) and this time put 10.6 on it and it runs at 64 bit BY DEFAULT. I've been playing with my copies of CS4, FCS and they both run without any problems. Hell, I can even run FLASH and iTunes without so much as a hiccup.
I'm VERY tempted to put my first hack into my production environment (web and video production), seeing that it has worked so well, but I'm still torn by the legality of it, you know, the EULA and all, although all my software is legal, even my OSX family pack.
Well
I have been doing software updates straight from Apple and Adobe in both my hacks and so far I haven't experienced ANY problems whatsoever.
EDIT: I made it up to Member! I'm no longer a newbie!! YAY!! Ok. I'm good now.

Oh thanks for the clarification. And how can I tell if it has the Nehalem chip? Mine is 2.53 ghz.
if you stated macbook pro in your earlier post, this refers to the Desktop workstation Mac Pro, not MacBOOK Pro.
2.53 is a MBP model. and yours is probably a early 2009 or mid 2009 model MBP. depending on their cycle dates.
haha, maybe not...might consume 2x as much power and be warm to send that measly email.
the 2008 models, imo were the best update to the line. never had a single issue with them.
I bought FBDIMMS for them off newegg (2x2GB) for like 104$ in the fall of 2008, so i can only imagine theyd be alittle cheaper than that.
QFT, Snow Leopard runs fine WHEN i dont run anything but SL, no 3rd party apps (esp CS2 - CS4)
Im glad i still have my Leopard machine.
Hopefully it gets fixed, they looked like a decent upgrade....but there is just something off about them that i held off for; perhaps this is it.
what's wrong with apple.. their +2000 MacPro has problems playing simple mp3s? wow... (this is not "anti-apple"... but still... WOW
and yet with hundreds of posts across at least two boards if not more, there hasn't been a huge class action suit. they don't even have to prove a number of affected people to file. probably easier than a patent suit to kick up.
