3.06 iMac vs 2006 MacPro 2.66

you think so? then, you're wrong buddy..
i own the iMac 3.06 and it is exactly what i need, i work with audio professionally. if you think you are a power pro only with the mac pro, then you just don't know anything about. i use only 1/3 of the cpu power in a whole song/structure. that's enough. and at the same time, i do check my emails/surfing web/using iPhoto/whole iLife suite.

Yes, you can also do audio...

Despite that, the Mac Pro is a much more powerful machine and there is no point for someone changing it for a Prosumer system

yes sure, but it depends on his needs. if he change it and upgrade/downgrade/whatever to iMac that could save him some money, plus space. it's just like a big monitor on the table

true that. there are some people out there with more money than brains...

Geez! That could not be his case, maybe he needed it for serious stuff, used it for a long time, but then he stopped.

Take my case for example, I used to record bands with a PowerBook. Then i needed the power and I bought a MacPro, used it, it sure helped me get things done faster, but now I only do some composing and some slight editing. Went from using Pro Tools to LogicPro and now I use Garage Band even more (I record tracks in GB and export them to Logic)

For my use, an iMac is more than enough, even though at first I got & needed the MacPro. Besides more space helps!
