Not to mention production costs would go WAY up. How in the Hell would they manufacture that thing? My version coming soon...

m1stake, care to explain what you're talking about? I've only seen "educational discounts" for Adobe software (maybe 1/2 price or so), not FREE copies.
(I would have PM'd this, but m1stake doesn't have PM enabled)
Did you get my PM about 10.6? Want me to look for Tesla and SLI stuff in there?
Whoops, I don't know why I wrote free. I meant $310 for Design Premium. If nothing else, I could stop using goddamn notepad to write sites in.
Thats the old version. I'm using Terragen 2 which is a UB and can support upto 16 simultaneous render threads.

Download it and have a try.
This is excellent as well: http://www.e-onsoftware.com/
Absolutely. Please do. Look for drivers for other cards that aren't in current Macs, as well.
IU has a license agreement with Adobe where all students and faculty can get Adobe products for free...
Have you ever looked at Maxwell Render?... (example) it is quite impressive, albeit a resource hog (hence my need for a mac pro
), I've been playing with it for my architectural renders, but terragen or vue might be great for landscapes, I'll have to look at it.Have you ever looked at Maxwell Render?... (example) it is quite impressive, albeit a resource hog (hence my need for a mac pro
A.) That's not a real photo?
B.) If not what the **** was the point, you could have taken the same picture with a camera.

Wow, cool!

So, here's my $.02. I don't see Apple going with the glass sandwich. All the material choices they make are always scrutinized from a practicality standpoint. Plastic is out, and there is no practicality in a glass computer. Even a glass apple is a stretch, but I included it anyway because it looks hott. I do see the handles and perforations tapering in for a lighter, more modern look - obviously, like the MB/MBPs. It would also have a hint of the good ol' PowerMac G4. Anyway, this is what I see happening.

The point is that the building in the picture is a 3d digital image... the miracle of accurate light simulation and high quality rendering
Where this comes into play is in presenting products to a client it is nice to be able to show them something that is so realistic that they have no trouble seeing it as a real product.
It is also an invaluable asset to be able to accurately visualize and represent shadow, light (indoor and outdoor) and material throughout varying time scales. You cannot always just build something to see if it really casts too much shadow.
Isn't the GTX 260 decent for such matters?
And trying to go to the post of his that you quoted doesn't work.

his quote was in response to why one would need 8 cores
crysis is not really a reason as that game is gpu dependant, not as much cpu
Has anyone noticed that the single quad-core Mac Pro is not available on many computer eStores anymore? They're all "On Backorder."
I remember that Crysis could actually take advantage of all 8 cores. But not well, and certainly not even close to 100%. I remember most of the cores were barely working.
I thought they were BTO only. But then again, I think a lot of things.

tl;dr: Support for Nehalem, 4850, and 4870 is in 10.5.7.

yep, just saw that article, although it isn't very clear about what the evidence is for nehalem in 10.5.7, but good news nonetheless.
