Ok I'm a performance geek.

I want this baby to be fast if I'm paying +3k for it. Is it possible to OC this baby?

I had an idea for dust to put it in a plexiglass container, but would this **** up airflow?

Can someone give a straight answer here about nehalem? Releases etc. (If your no 100% please don't post otherwise it'll just confuse other people looking for this info)

Not to sound bitchy.

Thanks!

You don't want to mess around with overclocking a Mac Pro. It's pointless; the thing's the fastest single computer on the planet already.

Dust? I've not heard of trouble with dust in the Mac Pro. Just spray some compressed air in there once a month.

There are no definitive answers with Nehalem. It will either be at MacWorld 2009 with Gainstown processors or MacWorld 2010 with Beckton processors and FB-DIMMs again. There will be no updates until Nehalem. What is out now will be out until Nehalem.
