The question alot of 06 owners have been facing has been whether to upgrade their chips and ram or buy a new system. Its been a tough call every year since the 06 still does everything fine so I have been in a holding pattern..not wanting to spend money on upgrading to octo chips since I may be getting a new pro but still not really needing the new mac pro.
Right now both options are imperfect and kind of wasteful....but it might be worth it to upgrade the 06 AND invest in a new Mac Pro if I could stick them side by side and allow the new Mac Pro to utilize the processor of the old one...effectively giving it 8 cores in addition to whatever is in the new mac pro. I recall seeing references to being able to do this in Logic using Nodes and Ive heard of people daisy chaining older macs together for this reason but does anyone know if this concept is doable on the mac pros?
