Hey Everyone.
I'm looking into getting a Mac Pro in the near future. I'm presently using a CD Macbook which, as good as it is, just can't perform in my school program (Computer Science and Game Development).
I'm looking to get myself an entry level Mac Pro, which gives me lots of power immediately, plus gives me the option to update and add more in the future.
Presently, the Mac Pro is $2899 CND (I realize thats before student discount, I'm just working in standard prices) for the entry level model. But, you are able to configure it to have a single quad core (instead of 2) for -$500, bringing the total to $2399. A Quad core would be enough for what I'm doing, so I would go this route.
My Question is this:
Has this been the norm in the Power Mac/ Mac Pro line? If I wait for Core i7 to come to the Mac Pro, will the $2399 model disappear for only 2900+ models?
I'd like to stay current with technology and can wait until it's released, but I don't want to pay that much for a computer.
Thanks
