since we are talking about accuracy, a dual quad core mac pro is not in the same class as an average home PC that takes 4 or 8Gb of RAM. For that fair comparison you need to be looking at Dell Precision workstations which take up to 64Gb of quad channel RAM.

Exactly, so a Mac Pro is never gonna equate to a $1000 PC.

And it does when the monkey is professionally trained and certified to scratch his butt, on top of being paid to train other up and coming butt scratchers.

Ah, anyway.. good discussion.. to each his own I still await previously said head-to-head gaming benchmarks.

Unless the Mac pro comes out at 1/3 the price with an 8800GTS I'll be upgrading with a PC for the 97th consecutive time this summer.

OP, that new board (the $89 one) will just handle higher speed memory if you choose to use it as well as newer CPU's based on a higher FSB. Based on the ratings and reviews, if you have major problems with it you can personally come beat me with a stick. Sorry we crapped all over your thread Here's a monkey scratching his donkey to make up for it:

UPS delivered the motherboard on Wed.  If you are free this weekend, let me know.  I am free on Saturday after 3 and all day Sun.  I live at 111th and hwy 75 if you are near there.  If not, we can meet somewhere close to you.  I get free car/gas so I will travel whereever. THANK!

Vista absolutely sucks. The patch for fixing vista problems is to reinstall Windows XP.

your multiple statements of ignorance make me chuckle.  the patch for fixing vista problems is for you to just not use a computer, you'll do us all some good.

Want to talk about ignorance? The fact that you are a fan of the OS obviously shows how ignorant you are.

It's a horribly assembled program that needs huge amounts of memory to even run correctly.

As far as using a computer, I've probably forgotten more about computers than you'll ever know. I'm running Linux and it works better than all of them.
