Now that Macworld is over, I can buy my Mac. I'm going to get a Mac Pro, and I'm trying to figure out the configuration. I want to be able to run PhotoShop, Lightroom, and a bunch of other applications without any performance problems. Chances are slim that I will delve into video editing or anything like that, although I suppose anything is possible. I checked on DPreview and some people recommended the following:
Single quad core motherboard 6 to 8 Gb RAM 3 hard drives - one for apps, one for data & one for a scratch disk for PS My coworkers think this is overkill and say I should start with a basic machine and add on as necessary. The basic Mac Pro is now 2 quad core MBS (the single quad core is cheaper) with 2GB RAM and a 350GB HD. What do you guys think? There seems to be some debate over whether Photoshop can even make use of multiple processors, so I'm fine with going with the single quad core MB, but I'm not sure about the rest.
