Really impressed with my MP

Just got a new Mac Pro today, and boy am I happy with its performance. I'm upgrading from a Powermac G4, which could barely handle 720p video. It definitely couldn't handle 1080p at all (seconds per frame). My new Mac Pro plays 1080p and doesn't even use 20% of a CPU. Absolutely amazing!

Yes, these things are fast. I started ripping a DVD today and went out for a walk. Came back expecting it to be less than a 3rd done but was nearer 90%. It was encoding H.264 video at over 100fps. *En*coding!
