Recommendations for a new Mac Pro?
Ouch! I was looking forward to this upgrade. Now I'm not so sure after reading Ted Landau's take. My MacPro 2008 with 10 gigs of ram and over 4T of HD space is starting to slow down and show its age. I'm getting a lot of stalls in Dreamweaver and Fireworks and Adobe products. As I don't do constant video editing, for the most part it kept up with design work and web work. But with Mavericks even iMovie is crashing all the time. I do enough video editing that I need redundant HD space.
Now I'm in a quandary. I have a 26" NEC monitor, and a 17" second monitor, and I won't be able to use either with Thunderbolt? I'll have to transfer all my storage to new devices or can I get a Thunderbolt Rack of some sort, and I won't save desktop space in the process?
So, I'm begging now for recommendations. What will be the fastest Mac with compatibility that I can now get if I decide not to spend $5k on the new Mac cylinder pro system? How much slower are the 2012's.
I was hearing that this new system will blow the doors off everything in terms of speed. And I don't like buying into obsolescence.
