thanks Svndmvn, **** man, I didnt know i can upgrade upto 2.93 now!!?? I love it! I will look into that. And 8 gigs of Ram in the 15"? I didnt think the 15 could handle that much?
Isn't there a place that will install a custom matte screen in your 15" like on the new uni 17"?
That will make yours more special.
Oh, and thanks for helping out the economy.
yes, there is this. But it voids our warranty

no, no penis comparisons yet. Although I played with one of his ex's and she said mine is much larger and prettier
Send it to Colorware.
Uiop, doesnt that void my warrantly on my MBP?

With Apple, yes. But I believe there is some kind of warranty Colorware puts on the computer...like you send the computer to them if there's an issue.
you can upgrade to 2.93 now, just check out Apple's site, the option got updated like 2 weeks ago.. I doubt something big will happen in months..
about the ram, probably 6 is the max, quite strangely, since the 17" has the 8 option, and old gens supported, even though not perfectly 8 as well. Believe me, 6 is enough, and who knows, it could be possible for 10.6 to extend the limit, but at the same time Apple just likes to open up the limit on hardware they release at the moment in order to sell more
Oh, and yes, colorware usually has its warranty..

WOW!! Ya man, i see it 2.93!! I just bought my MBP 3 months ago, I JUST missed it! What would be THE most cost effective way to upgrade to 2.93 and 6 Gigs of Ram? I dont want to install myself and mess up my machine, id rather bring it in somewhere to a pro.
Thanks Sand
Well, you'd kinda have to be God, or something close to that, to desolder and de-epoxy the CPU from the Logic Board.
6gb, is easy to install. You'd be wasting money if you had someone else do it for you. Google. When it comes to RAM hungry things like encoding, 6gb is beneficial, it's also great for VMs, BUT for normal usage, it doesn't mean increased performance because of the fact that dual channel is lost.
8gb would fix that problem, but then you would need the 17" MatteBook Pro to fix that. (I like matte, but glassy would also be compatible).
Turn your Mac Pro 8-core 2.93GHz Nehalem 4TB hard-drive with 32GB of RAM into a mega MacBook Pro!
PUUUUURE WIN!!!
OMMFG!!!!!!!! is that for real? Did someone really do that? Is that the most powerful Mac on Earth? If so, what does he need that much juice for? 3D modeling or something?

this looks pretty silly. and by silly i mean awesome. how did you do that. do you have a website with all the steps and stuff. cause if you dont that would be pretty cool. at least a youtube vid or something
Not quite a matte screen.
Yes it is! And yes it is the most powerful Mac! However, that's the slightly older version, the newer one went unibody too. The only problem is that Apple doesn't consider this to be a consumer machine; only registered developers and other VIPs are allowed to purchase it. Fortunately, I'm one of those people, so if you drop me a PM, we'll see if we can't get you on a waiting list!
Hey guys, id like to thank all of you for your 411 on this issue. I will be purchasing 2 gigs of ddr3 RAM for my MPB for a new total of 6 gigs right this moment. I will also be attempting a self first time install.
Ive noticed there are a few different RAM to choose from and a few different places to buy it from. What exact product should I get and where should I buy from? Thanks guys

That is pretty freaking awesome Brightside!! Hey man, what kind of programs are people with that much horsepower using? 3D or video editing?
I going 6 gigs RAM because Im using Photoshop CS4, Itunes/or watching a movie file, and downloading gig's of mp3's or videos all simotaneously.
you have 2+2GB in your Mac so you'd need a 4GB stick and take one of yours out in order to get 6GB, you only have two slots..
or better yet, just buy a 256GB ssd, if I'm not mistaking it could be better than adding 2gigs of ram for your general use..
Watching a movie and using CS4 at the same time, on a 15" screen? now that is talent...
