Would I be happy with the low end MacPro Quad-Core 2.0ghz, with 512mb Graphics and 5GB memory? Or should I do my best to hold off til November? I have so many needs for it right now.
Not likely unless you can find one used for under $1,500.Would I be happy with the low end MacPro Quad-Core 2.0ghz, with 512mb Graphics and 5GB memory? Or should I do my best to hold off til November? I have so many needs for it right now.

Yes do your best to wait until November 13.
No and yes.Are we definitely guaranteed an update BEFORE December? Like shipping in November or earlier? And would they all have the potential of being Octo-Core?
No and yes.
Is the 3ghz Octo Core dumb to purchase regardless any update coming our way? ... Even if money wasn't an issue?
The decision has been made, just waiting on one thing... but the purchase I will be making hopefully within a day or two is this...
MacPro 2x2.66ghz Dual Core
I think you'll be much happier with that, than you would have with the 2.0GHz version. Wise choice

If money wasn't an issue nothing would be a dumb purchase.

More like instantly. Check out this post #613 at the HSS thread to see the new pricing reality coming November 11. Gonna be hand me down time big time.That's good enough for a "quote of the year"!
But, OT.... getting a 2.0 GHz Xeon would seem a bad purchase after about 6 months. The gap with newer Xeons would be too big, if you ask me.
