i just pulled the trigger on a brand new in the box 2008 MacPro 8-core 2.8/2GB ram/320GB hd...and i guess i'm just looking for validation that it was a good purchase. it was considered a clearance item from Guitar Center and i was able to swipe it for $2,370 out the door. i've been wanting to grab an intel Mac for a while, and coming from my current system this seems like it will be a considerable upgrade for what i thought was a very reasonable price.
i originally wanted to get the 3.2 dual quad, but at this price i figured i better grab the 2.8. some questions:
1. is there a big difference between the 2.8 and 3.2 as far as Logic performace? in other words, will I be "missing out"?
2. i currently use Logic 7 alongside L8 on Tiger, will both still work seamlessly in Leopard on an Intel?
3. i'm currently doing projects of about 60-70 tracks with BFD2 and various other software instruments and are starting to bring my current G5 to its knees...what type of performance enhancements should i expect?
i really appreciate the help! thanks to all.
