Re: Just ordered an 8 Core Refurb - Thanks!

Hi Floh,

Thank you for your information and advice.

I just ordered the following:
Your price: $2,399.00
Refurbished Mac Pro 8-core 2.8GHz Intel Xeon
Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors
2GB (2 x 1GB) of 800MHz DDR2 ECC fully buffered DIMM
320GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7200-rpm hard drive
16x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB (two dual-link DVI ports)

I was initially planning on a 2.66 four Core model with the default graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT). The information you provided on the Graphics card rendering really helped me make this decision.

My reasoning is that I got a better card and twice as many cores for about $400. And if the card proves to be an impediment I can easily upgrade it later but upgrading from 4 Cores to 8 Cores is not an option.

Thanks Again!

I really appreciate your help!

Best Wishes,

Mitch
