It’s about time I get a new Mac Pro, but I’m not sure that now is a good time to buy one unsure.gif

MacRumors.com don’t recommend buying now because they say that Apple will probably release a new Mac soon.
Historically there have been a new upgrade every 8-9 months, and the latest Mac Pro was released in January 2008, so….

But then I read on several forums that Apple will probably not release a new Mac Pro anytime soon, because they’re waiting for a new processor which is estimated to arrive sometime in 2009 (?)

Anyone here with more knowledge about this?

Whatever you buy today, there will be a better, faster computer tommorow...

I'm using a MacPro for a couple of months now and its great. I use it mostly for Photoshop (for Logic I use my old G5, which is fine)
The MacPro is very stable.
The only problem is that a lot of software isn't using the power it has. Most software uses 1 or 2 cores, not all 8.
So at this point, the coding of the software is a bigger problem than the speed of the computer...
