    "The Apple [CC] [MD] [GC] website is announcing the availability of an 8-core Mac Pro. The machine will ship with two 3.0 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 processors. Older models with the Dual-Core chips remain available. Base model with two 3.0 GHz Quad-Core Xeon processors start at $3997, (albeit with unacceptably minimal RAM or HD space; fully spec'd with dual 30" monitors and tons o' RAM/HD still over $10K... bummer)"

    Meh.. I guess I'm just not the right type of user for these machines. I'd love an expandable tower mac with a decent graphics card and processor, not 8 cores and a pooey nivida 7300! :)

    You want a Mac for gaming?
    I didn't think I'd say this ever again, but... buy a PC! :D

    I have a PC :) The only game a play is WoW though, which runs just find on a Mac, and of course Bootcamp works too.
