Exactly, if you need it today, just get it. It's not like there is a new one coming out tomorrow or next week, then you should wait. On the other hand, look at me, I've been waiting for the next revision 8 core mac to come out for at least 18 months. Unlike some, I really do need that much power, and will use it, the current revision with the half pipe bandwidth would not be sufficient, so I'm waiting but man, it's painfully frustrating I can tell you, as even a quad core would make an enormous difference over my dual g5 2.0, but I'm hanging in there! If I could afford to buy it twice, I would have got the quad 7 months ago, and sell and buy the 8 core 2nd revision when it comes out, as it is, I decided to wait purely for financial reasons and time, not wanting to wait for the "old" machine to get sold, and losing money in the process... but yeah, just get what you need today - they are very good machines regardless, and I think the new chips will show a far less performance increase over the current ones than they did on the last gen upgrades from G4 chips which were way out of date.
