"Just so we are comparing apples-to-apples, so to speak, this is a consumer-level (or gamer) machine and really shouldn't be compared on even footing with a Mac Pro"


Give me a break. Honestly. This machine is in the same class as any MacPro out there right now, with the exception of the 12 core, $6K machine. OOps, I didn't buy something with FW 800. That's a $10 card in an empty slot if I need it. Everything I have that connects also talks USB, and my external raid has E-Sata, which is also a $20 card in an empty slot.

One thing I never became was a Mac Snob. It isn't better because Steve Jobs says it is. When will you stop drinking the Kool-Aid!

This system will do 8 or more layers in RT. You can do it on a Mac, provided you buy an Nvidia card off the list, and Premiere Pro. If I had a spare $4K sitting around, which I don't, maybe I would have gone Mac, but my current feeling is that Apple has jumped from Computer and Software maker, to Consumer Electronics Company. That's their choice.

This is how I responded to their decision.
