Another source.... might have different/additional info? EDIT: the Gruber article is the one to read.

Should be perfect timing for me, my system is cruising along for now.

I have three of the aluminum Mac Pros. Never saw much promise in the black spittoon.

I just upgraded my 4,1 cheesegrater aluminum Mac Pro to dual 6 core 3.3 Ghz Westmere processors, GTX 680 graphics card and 48Gb of RAM. It now bench-scores better than the top of the line trash can machines. And it cost me only about a grand to do the upgrades.

Will ride it out for another few years, and see where it goes.

Maybe Avid will have a new i/o/DSP combo box out that runs on TB3 by then and no one will have to worry about PCIe cards anymore.
