This idea makes my inner cheapskate cry: I don't want to spend the money on a Mac Pro! And, yet, your argument is compelling.
Holding my hands over the keyboard or the mouse is tiring. I've found that, when the machine is unresponsive, I spend more time with my hands hovering over the controls, because when you have to make five clicks in succession -- waiting for the machine between each click -- you don't want to have to keep reaching out, making one click, reaching back and resting, then reaching out again... that's really slow. So you hold your hand there and wait. And if you have to wait two seconds between each click...
Well, darn it, now I've got to buy an eight-core Mac Pro! For my health!
- watmough 19y agoActually, the most responsive machine I have is my iMac 20". The iMac is the 2.16 Core 2 version with the ATI graphics, and it wipes the floor with any other machine I've used, including my MBP and my work Dell (some kind of C2D Precision)
- mechanical_fish 19y agoAh, and that was exactly the machine I really wanted to buy. Sweet. Thanks for the advice.
