New Yup.
"Starting at ..." Oh well, I guess they have to strike while the iron is hot.

No word on MacPro updates either. Perhaps with their laptop/tablet business growing like gangbusters, and feeling little impact after giving up the 1 U server boxes, maybe they don't see the need right now. If ever.

Presumably the updated i7 machines are fast enough for just about everyone.

Cheers,
Scott.

New 8G of RAM isn't enough for some people
Myself included: I have a MacPro that I use as my primary machine.

Once I get Chrome, FlashBuilder, Photoshop, and half a dozen other things running at once, 8G can be painful.
