Hi Im using all the time Cinema 4D and After Effects CS4. My current computer is iMac 2009 Earlyer 2.93 Ghz and ATi 4850 Graphics Card. I think I sell this imac and wants to change Mac Pro... Apple is so expensive in Turkey but some people bring from US. This is price which Mac Pro good for me?

First Machine
One 2.93GHz Quad Core
Intel Xeon Nehalem
6Gb Memory

Two 18xdouble-layer SuperDrive

Second Machine
Two 2.26GHz Quad 8 Core
Intel Xeon Nehalem
6GB Memory
640GB hard drive
18x double-layer SuperDrive
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 512MB
3600USD (USA Fiyati 3299)

Intel Xeon Nehalem
3Gb Memory
640GB Hard drive

If I can buy first or Third machine can I upgrade processor?
Second machine nice to me I can upgrade Graphics card.

What you think which Mac Pro good for me?
 
Yes you can upgrade the CPU but you can only have one CPU. You can upgrade it up to 3.33GHz.

I would get the third machine. You can upgrade the GPU and add more RAM and maybe a second HD if needed

Second machine could be upgrade CPU? I looked to intel site but I can find this CPU family? Where can I buy CPU for Mac Pro? Any guess?
 
Are you sure that the first one isn't an eight core?

I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't offer a quad-core with the only thing different is a better (Arguably) graphics card, and 350GB more storage, but with more speed (Ghz), for $300 more than the eight core with less Ghz speed.

Xeon W3580

If the first one was an 8-core the price would be over $6000 USD.
