If apple update mac pro, I will buy it

[suneohair]

Wrong. Argument has no basis.

You are coming to a sad realization. Accept or Deny?

Really, if you can't back up your claims, please don't post. You obviously don't know much. Your arguments are terrible. Go play with your expensive Mac Pro, as I assume you got it to do actual work right? Instead of complaining about the complainers you should really use your Mac Pro so that when I get an 8-core for $1999 (ADC) you will feel like you got your moneys worth.

I haven't seen anyone waiting for "faster 8 cores". It's about the OUTDATED VIDEO CARDS. Plain and simple.

Sorry Didn't use multiquote...again

Please explain????

Please explain????

What am I explaining exactly? You come in here and tell us what we want, we had this problem in the other thread as well. People saying "sounds like you want a price drop."

I am not waiting for a faster octo machine, I am waiting for cheaper octos since I know the price is coming down. If you can't understand that, again, don't post.

I also want updated graphics options. Not stuff from nearly a year and a half ago.

By the time the octos are at your price point they're gonna be old technology and you'll be waiting for the 16 Quad-cores to drop in price.

How was it that you could buy the computer you are using now to write all your complaints?

Come on.. I understand some people disagree with our logic but you act baffled. There is a big difference between tech that is 1 year old AND known to be near drastic price reduction.. and processors that are a few months old and NEW to a certain price point.

If you want the price reduction then just wait. I don't understand the point of these complaint threads. Its not going to make apple do it faster.

- Price reductions coming in August.
- Leapord on machines in October
- New platform will apear December or late January most likely.

These are the dates to wait for. Nothing is going to happen earlier. Just pick the date that you want to wait for. Apple is doing nothing wrong. There is NO NEW TECH FOR THEM TO GIVE YOU NOW.

What the hell is wrong with you? He already said NO.

Maybe he just doesn't want to pay 2006 prices for 2006 products? Maybe the X1900 XT is a crappily designed card with well known heat problems. Maybe the Quadro 4500 is incredibly overpriced. Maybe the 7300 is to oobsolete to be in a 'top of the line' machine.

Maybe, since Apple IS upgrading them soon, he doesn't want to settle for the year-old machine out now.

Within 1 month clovertowns will cost the same as woodcrests do now. They'll probably update video card options soon as well.

Your argument: WTF! This comp was great in 2006 and is great now! Pay 2006 prices and quit complaining--because someone has a gun to my head forcing me to read every thread I don't agree with!

His argument: Why would I pay full price for something so old? Suck my buttcheeks. I don't care what you think is fair, this is what I want, stop arguing with why I want it.

YES THERE IS!!!!! You must not have paid attention to my post on the FIRST page of this thread, or you are retarded.


THE VIDEO CARDS ARE OLD... OLD OLD OLD OLD!!!! And there IS new tech on the market to remedy that. Ever heard of the 8800GTX?? How about the x2900Xt?? To add insult to injury, they STILL charge outrageous prices for that old tech. You can buy a new 7300GT on Newegg for $64.00, yet to add a 'second' 7300GT to the Mac Pro it costs $149.00.

Get off your high horse. You have your Mac Pro. Go play with it and leave us alone. If you're so tired of the "complaint" threads, DON'T READ THEM!!!

What does the thread title say??? Uh huh. Then WHY do you poke your nose into the thread when you KNOW people will be complaining about the LACK OF UPDATES to the Mac Pro???!!

I am moving from PC to Mac by the end of the year. The MacBook Pro and the iMac are getting or have been updated this year, so there's a very good chance of the Mac Pro being updated by the end of the year, that's 6 months away.

So if you are planning to buy a Mac Pro, I say wait. You will get new Specs and Leopard included. Wait until December 2007, think of it as a Christmas present. You won't regret it. Good things come to those who wait.

Regards...

Personally, I think things are going to work out pretty good for me. I am in Iraq right now and won't be buying (obviously) until I return home. At the soonest, that will be towards the end of the year...maybe as late as next spring.
