Re: Arquette
Welcome to Info-Mac, and the larger world of the Macintosh platform! A Mac Pro is an extremely capable, impressive machine that will give you years and years of service. These workstations are intended for heavy professional use, in graphics, research and development.
What are your intended uses for this system?
Or did you mean MacBook Pro?

I am now telling the computer exactly what it can do.
Re: Arquette
Hi, thanks for your welcome.
It's the desktop, i'll be buying, not the MacBook Pro laptop. The mac Pro's quad core Xenon, not the 8-core.
I have a Hi-Def camcorder so will be needing the Mac Pro for editing, plus some 5,000 stills, many in RAW. i'm attracted to having Aperture2 and of course, Final Cut for the filming.
'The Beast' I'll be using for business accounts, writing and stuff. i'm a power user, so the Mac will be perfect.
And,
I'm completely new to Mac's Leopard system, so it's going in blindfolded.. wonderful, eh?

Re: Arquette
Oh yes, well there are many things you'll be needing to learn. If you're buying a new Mac Pro, it'll come equipped with Mac OS X "Snow Leopard" (10.6) which was just released two weeks ago.
The best place to start, of course, might be Apple's Mac 101. Having experience with Linux or other *nix-y operating systems also helps at the more technical level.
