Now that the X1900 cards are starting to arrive, I am ordering a MP. Is there any strategic value in waiting for a very short period of time?

far far away...bazzakite said:so when does everyone tip the next updates to MacPros will be??
AND will they be significant updates???
I could really do will updating my system, however I could keep flogging my old gear for a couple more months if I really needed to.
new MacPros far away??
just another vote for buying now. no way are the MPs anywhere near a second revision.. they were JUST released. the lines that people are waiting for are MBs and MBPs.. since the iMac and mac mini just got upgrades.QCassidy352 said:mac pro was just released a month ago... no updates for a long, long time. Buy now if you need one.

generik said:You MAY want to wait it till next year to get it with iLife 07 and maybe Leopard, but I wouldn't.. if I am that cheap I will just pirate it off bit torrent.
generik said:Yes, if you wait a while the Euros will rise against the dollars, then China may invade Taiwan and stretch the US forces thinner, and then we launch our nukes away when the Americans are all spread out and defenseless. Talk about strategic advantage![]()

I was actually thinking more in terms of imminent hardware changes which may be offered in the near future. I know there is a version of the X1900 called the X1900 XT (I think). Performance is superior to the current standard one and some clever folk have been able to make the card work in the Mac Pro. There are so many informed professionals on this board, who keep more current with things coming down the pipeline, I thought it worthwhile to float a general question.
As it turns out, I have made the purchase. The memory upgrade is certainly expensive...relatively speaking anyway. I am going to shop for some 3rd party as 4GB is about the low-limit I need.
Thanks for everyone's input!
