I have been a PC junkie for so long and have talked a lot of smack about APPLE and how "non-user friendly" it is. I'm such an idiot!!! I just so happen to be walking along downtown Calgary, Alberta Canada one day and I stumbled upon an Apple Store. Low and behold there was a PC store right next to it. I scoffed at the "Apple Store" and walked towards the PC Store. I found that it had a sign in the window that said "Out of Business". I was oblivious to the irony. Then had no choice but to "check out" the Apple store. Long story short, I came out of that store a changed man. I did not know where to start. Should I skeet shoot my windows running, ctrl-alt-deleting, virus crashing PC from existence or should I just chalk this up as an experience. Well to my detriment, I chalked it up as an experience. That all happened 2 years ago and I have regretted this decision ever since. My business has grown and I have moved to northern BC with my family and have discovered an immense demand for professional Photo/Videography and editing. Now my POS PC will not pump out the power needed to edit, let alone render a simple 20 minute clip. I do everything from professional commercials to weddings and my PC is about to kick the bucket. Actually it kicked the buck along time ago but I performed a few spells and downloaded enough band-aid programs to keep it alive. I need powerful enough computer to not only blow away my old PC but to potentially make it orbit pluto. Here is a list of what I am about to order from Apple.ca. I need someone with enough APPLE experience to say "HELL YA" to my list or a resounding "HELL NO" start over. Here we go...
Mac Pro
2x 3.0 Gz Dual Core Xeon Processors
4 Gb Ram
1 500GB Harddrive for software - purchased a lacie 2.5 Tb sata 2 raid system for data
ATI Radeon X-1900 512Mb to support the 2 x 23" displays
2 x Superdrives
Bluetooth and Airport extreme option
I am not sure if I will go with the video card they offer on the website. I am going to research it a bit. The high end one they offer is too high end and the one I have listed, I am not sure if it is powerful enough. Comment away!!!
