I did a search - couldn't find anything easily, so sorry if this has been asked before.
I'm thinking of buying a mac pro for audio work (recording and mixing). I'm maxing out my powerbook g4 like whoa, as you can imagine. At this stage, I'd probably be more than fine with the 2.66, but you know, I want to be prepared. I'm wondering what the compatibility would be for future processors, or even the 4-core chip that's in the octo-core machine now, if I wanted to just drop it in. Is it feasible? or am I pushing my luck. I just wouldn't mind saving 700 dollars on it now, and maybe waiting for prices to drop a bit.
Any insight appreciated
Thanks,
Alex
