I won't be back until next Tuesday, so if Get Carter is the correct answer, I would appreciate of someone else posts a new cap for me
here is also a good place to look for a reduction in cost. they are refurb but still carry the year warranty. if i trust any company, it will be apple.
The new Xeon L5320 and L5310 processors consume only 12.5 watts of electricity per core, using 35-60% less power than the existing quad-core Xeons.The L5320 operates at 1.86 GHz and the L5310 at 1.60 GHz. They both feature 8M bytes of on-die cache for faster memory data communication. In quantities of 1,000 units, the L5320 is priced at US$519 and the L5310 at $455.
No word on whether or not Apple is planning on using the newest Quad-core processors in upcoming Macs, despite persistent rumors of Apple introducing a 8-Core Mac Pro. These new processors, however, feature a slower clock speed (1.60GHz, 1.86GHz) than the existing less power-efficient (2.66GHz) Clovertown Quad-core processors.
For readers interested in the top end of performance, Intel revealed last week that later this year, they will be releasing a higher end 3.0GHz version of its Quad-core Xeon for customers who aren't concerned with power consumption.
The current 2.66GHz Quad-cores or these upcoming high end chips appear to be the most likely candidates for future 8-Core Mac Pro models, as power consumption is not a major consideration for Apple's high end desktop machines.
when searching for "Mac" in the UK Apple Store, the listing for the Mac Pro is: Mac Pro
Now quad-core or 8-core processing power.
Configure yours today.
Rumors that Apple would incorporate two of Intel's Quad-core chips into a Mac Pro to produce an 8-core Mac Pro have been ongoing since late last year.
Update: Apple appears to have found it and have removed the text from their site.
well said, though if I was to get the 17" MBP,it's still nearly a grand more than any 17" Dual Core Notebook PC you'd get...
I have to disclose I used a student discount to get my MBP. That put it at $2500 w/o shipping.
I priced out an equally (as equal as I could get) Dell Inspiron and it was $200 less.
I just priced it out again (Dell) and came to around $2,271 with the similar features.
I compare Vista Ultimate to OSX. Plus you get the other iLife software, et. al. bundled.
I felt like $200 wasn't enough to quibble. A grand, sure. Another assumption: for a laptop, I'd rather spend a bit more for something quality that's going to last because it's going to be dragged around to who knows where. Whereas my desktop sits at home safe and sound. So, going off-name for a laptop is a bit riskier in terms of quick, reliable support. Certainly, both Dell and Apple have their support issues as well.
If you truly price out TCO, I can't find much proof that the Apple is that much more expensive than a comparable PC TCO.
Besides - you lust after brushed aluminum and the glowing white Apple on the back of the case like the rest of us. Dive in, the water's fine.
Go MBP. You're a power-user. You'll regret the MB.
I'm also saving up/waiting to get a 15" MBP. Besides Parallel, there's also CrossOver which does the same thing. Not too sure about how they perform against each other though.

I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.
Pretty certain that quad-core MBP's are coming out along with leopard annouced April 15th. Leopard is definite unless something really changes between now and then... been beta testing it for a while.
Dom, I would get a MBP but not the 17", way too big and doesnt travel well... no matter how thin they make them, it's just not a practical laptop size.
there is no way in hell quad core chips are coming to MacBook Pros just yet... not until 45nm is the standard and heat goes down... however, an update IS coming... more than likely with the upcoming Santa Rosa platform in May, slightly faster CPU, faster system bus, flash on board, etc etc...

I was pretty close to picking up a Sony Notebook for my b'day, in fact the one I had my eye on has actually fallen $200 in price. But after this thread, I'm pretty sure I wanna dive into the world of Apple at least once to see what the fuss is all about.

Your sources are defintely speculating a hell of a lot less than mine... I kinda look forward to disappointing them
I am almost bought a G4 for 700 the other day. I cleaned around my desk, printed out the 200+ page manual and asked myself are you willing to buy this out dated technology and be happy? I said no. I like the 17 inch, but you are correct probably 15 would be nice in the sense of travel and what not. Fuck. Options. I just can not wait to see Apples new line up. Gonna be smoking whatever it is.
