Hello....been kicking over the idea of purchasing a refurb 2.6 8-core. However, after reading a couple of post on the problems with upgrading the graphics card, it seems I should just wait until the 2.8 8-cores make it into the refurb store??

My main reason for getting a macpro with 8 cores is simply that I want it to be useful for 5 years at least. I like the idea of being able to upgrade it as technology keeps moving forward. Price should be something like $2200 don't you think?

Any thoughts?? TIA..
 
Definitely go with the current 2.8; there never was a 2.66 Octore, anyway.

The 2.66 Octore is a lie...

Nope. Doesn't work. 😛
 
You guys are right, it's two dual core 2.66 chips for a total of 4 cores. Thanks for your suggestions...😛
