Anyone know what the bus speed is on the New 8 core MP?
Also...
Is the ram generic, or specific to the apple? Can I buy the ram elsewhere, and what brand?
The part of interest to you being "1600MHz, 64-bit dual independent frontside buses"
As to the ram, places like crucial sell ram that is mac pro compatible, while it's not specific to the mac pro it's not the same ram you'll find in the average desktop PC, just high end work station and servers 🙂
