Just Got It!

[RhymeAnimal]

Just have purchased the AWESOME new Mac Pro. This is what a machine:

Integrated Workflow [BAM!]
Mega Fast Ram 16gb Memory [BAM!]
SSD Drives like Thunder Light [BAM!]
And Oh, gotGraphics? How is Radeon 5770 For You [BAM!!]

Worth The Waiting, Thank you Apple!

You've got screwed

Bam!

Boom!

It's a screamer - loads jpgs in photoshop within 12 seconds ....

Integrated Workflow [Bam!] In Final Cut Pro X means lightning fast renders, and mind blowing FX (strap on your seatbelts). Doubt it? This was done in only 2 days w/ FCPX and blistering fast Radeon 5770 [BAM!!]

I did this in 3 hours! FCPX is blazing fast on the new old Mac Pro!

This is nothing short of a revolution, thank you for sharing. I would ask about your workflow but that would be a bit like someone standing up at the end of a Houdini performance and demanding to know how he escaped.

also- this was just forwarded to me by a fellow Pro user who is pumping that 5880, insane render times meant more time for post party-in [BAM] :

Unfortunately, announcing you purchased a Mac Pro in this Mac Pro forum will bring about the wrath of all the whiners that like to hang out here.

From Me.... A BIG CONGRATS! Thats Awesome!

Hilarious bitching over 15% performance increases being missed out on. Kerrang!

I think the bitching has more to do with the lack of USB3, PCI Express 3, SATA3 and Thunderbolt.

I really don't give a rat's ass (sic!) about Thunderbolt (the wrath of Zeus notwithstanding). I can get USB3 for peanuts (I don't know about the other 2 3s). I just wish Apple had upgraded the processors! They ddi not. I still reached deep into my wallet and placed an order for a "new" 2012 2010 MP. I'm either totally screwed (they release Ivy Bridge machines in the next 6 months), or I'm a freaking winner (they don't update the MP ever again).

Lack of SATA 3 is going to limit your speeds on SSDs down the line. No thunderbolt may not be a big deal today but you will never be able to connect a Thunderbolt display or RAID array. The ancient ATI GPU is also lame. I'd rather have native USB 3 then relying on a PCI Card. The hardware you are paying a premium for today is essentially, aside from the CPUs, from 2009. Additionally we are in a time where performance can't be judged via clock speed any longer. So yes, while the perhaps 15% performance boost of 2011 CPUs would be welcomed, it's the rest of the architecture being so antiquated that has everyone annoyed.
