My 8-core Mac Pro is here!

[Raid]

Holy Balls! You can run like... Safari, Mozilla, AND Mail all at the same time!

Seriously though, what are you gonna do with it?

And by the way, on the BT keyboard and mouse thing, hopefully Apple has fixed their fock up on the 8-cores, but if you connect the mouse, and its really jerky and just all around sucks, Apple Probably connected the wrong antenna wire for your Bluetooth (Link 2)

Thanks for the info BiikeMike, maybe Kirk's notes should be included in the wiki link you posted... perhaps with the warning that the problem may have been corrected. I will also see if I can sync up my phone at various distances to see if I have the problem as well. Since my computer is lined up for a repair I'll ask about it when I'm in.

As far as what I'm going to do with it...not enough to justify the machine Mostly photograghy (PhotoShop). The thing is, I've been running an iMac G5 with 1.25G RAM for about a year now, and recently, it's been running pretty slow with multiple images open and with maybe 4-5 other applications open at the same time (Mail, Safari, iTunes, connected to the net with Streaming audio, etc). I'd like to be able to run, additionally, Adobe Lightroom and have Parallels with at least one Windows application running as well, which, of course, I could not do on the PowerPC iMac. You might ask why I need an 8 core megamachine to do even that, or why do I need to have that much open at once. The short answer, on the open applications is...because LOL And why such a hot machne, well primarliy, I'd like this machine to be relevant for a long time to come.

I just wish Leopard was out already.

Sounds good man, Enjoy it! Thats what I'm doing on my 2.66 I just got, and so far its pretty damned fast, for you, I don't think you'll have ANY problems!

Problem is, I don't know if all the Apple people know about it. I had my BT module installed IN STORE by a guy who I know, and he actually frequents MR, and he still did it "wrong." Now, if he knew it was screwed up, but has to connect it the sway Apple tells him to, I guess we'll never know.

100% per core. So 8 cores theoretically can do 800% yeah doesn't make much sense does it? But you get the idea...

what's your temps at 800% useage? Heatsink, corea, coreb?

thanks,
