Mac Pro Setup
Our new Mac Pro arrived this week. It’s part of our office video editing workstation (pictured above):

  • Dual 23-inch Cinema HD Displays
  • Sony HDV-FX1 High-Definition Camcorder
  • Final Cut Studio
  • Harman/Kardon Soundsticks

The specs on the machine are incredible:

  • Two 2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5100 Series Processors
  • 2GB 667MHz DDR2 ECC Fully-Buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) Memory
  • Four 500GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s, 7200-rpm, 8MB Cache Hard Drives (2TB Total Storage)
  • NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT with 256MB of GDDR2 SDRAM
  • Dual 16x SuperDrive with Double-Layer Support (DVD+R DL/DVD¬±RW/CD-RW)

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a new machine that seemed significantly faster than what I was using, but this box truly screams…DK
