Hi All,
I am thinking of upgrading from my (early) 2009 Mac Pro Tower. I am a looking at one of the i9 27" imac with SSD drive/Vega 48 video cards. I truly have no idea if my MP is a dud as is when compared to what is now available. All constructive ideas are welcome. Looking to buy before the New year if I am going that way. Thanks covrc
I have had some upgrades done through the years, including a 500 GB Mercury SSD boot drive in the second optic bay (I have 129 GB available). I have also upgraded the processor, video card and RAM. I have a NEC 2690 WUXi2 for a monitor.
I do mostly Photoshop and Lightroom.
