Re: Adding Thunderbolt to the MacPro is such a big problem…

[Erik Lindahl] "That to me sounds quite far fetched though."

Regardless of what it "sounds" like, that would be the case. I've seen no report from Intel or anyone else with Xeon processors with Thunderbolt on the motherboard.

[Erik Lindahl] "Every single Mac in Apples arsenal is a laptop except the MacPro"

iMac although last updated in early 2011 whose top of the line has quad i7 with two Thunderbolt ports and, like their other computers except the MacPro, has built in GPU chip not sitting on a PCIe card.

[Erik Lindahl] "Clearly it's not a huge problem solving it."

Show me ONE Xeon motherboard example. There aren't any. Don't you think other workstation makers would do this if it were possible?
