Apple's new Mac Pro ($7,578 direct, $8,577 with a 23-inch widescreen LCD monitor), the latest professional Macintosh desktop to emerge from the company's Cupertino, California, stables, sure is a workhorse. All Mac Pros are now "quad core," with two dual-core Xeon processors that are capable of holding up to 16GB of DDR2 ECC SDRAM, and 2 terabytes of hard drive space. The Mac Pro starts out at $2,499 for a modestly configured system, but we thought it would be fun to run a totally tricked-out workstation—so we tested a system that pushes the $8,000 price point. The verdict? For the Mac professional, the extra expense is worth the pure, unadulterated power.
