Apple's Mac Pro is a super-speedy, souped-up desktop
16/05/09 | | |The new Mac Pro desktop is a thing of beauty. Inside and out this box looks like it is the ultimate desktop computer on the market today.
With two, 64-bit, dual-core Intel Xeon “Woodcrest” processors and it's sleek design, the Mac Pro is the computer equivalent of a Ferrari, Maserati or Porsche. And like a super sports car — you can pay a lot for the ultimate level of high-end performance.The Mac Pro is encased in real metal rather than cheap pressboard or molded plastic that looks like metal.
Up front, there are two optical drive slots. You can put two 16x SuperDrives (CD-DVD, R/W) in there or one CD and one DVD drive. The coolest thing about the drives is that you can read from one or write to the other — or write to both drives simultaneously.
