Default Re: Processor recommendations for new MacPro

Thanks, Darryl... all good thoughts. All five systems will be identical with the exception of the two systems with HDX2. Totally agree with the 3rd party memory... OWC good pricing.

As far as storage, we're all tied to a 2PetaByte SAN system via 10GB ethernet, so local storage is rarely used for anything except booting and apps. The SAN is mirrored to a NAS that's the same size, plus we've also got a massive tape backup system for all of it.

If throughput to the SAN via 10GBe isn't fast enough, we can always add a dual fiber-channel card as we've got that in each room, as well. We just figured audio bandwidth didn't have the requirements compared to our video guys pushing 4K HDR back-n-forth.

Thanks again for the thoughts!
