Hey all,
I’m looking at a couple macs and was curious about your opinion.

I mostly digitize and edit large photo files (150-400mb) with photoshop cs4, digitize and edit vhs tapes with fcp5, re-encode video files to other formats and digitize analog sound with audacity. While this is going on there are files being moved to another computer or disks being burned. Right now I can pretty much only do one thing at a time but it would be great to multitask.

So I’m looking at the mac pro with quad 2.8 and three gb memory or maybe the quad 3.2 with 6gb memory…and my question is, will there be a significant difference in the two or is one better suited than the other.

Thanks.
