Well, I just ordered the new Mac Pro Hex core 3.33ghz with the ATI HD 5870.
I'm now very fucking poor.
unless you have a need for lots of cores the 6-core 3.3 is a smart choice if 16gb of ram is enough. it all depends on what software you use and if it is ram/processor or graphics card dependent.
was thinking about an 8core but only one of my apps makes use of them but the time saving isn't really going to gain much in productivity.
will think about using a SSD for either a boot or scratch disk though (when i eventually get a new machine)
