I am about to buy a new MacPro and assume I am not the only one that has beengoing through purchase thoughts. I have a couple of questions specific to machine performance with Photoshop CS2, CS3, Lightroom and Aperture:
1) I am not going to go up to the 3Ghz processor, just toooo expensive. So, what do I lose if I go with the minimum 2GHz processor .... will it matter or should I stick with the 2.66?
2) Does it make any difference in performance if you upgrade video cards to the dual NVidea optionor the ATI option? If so, which one makes more sense?
Regardless of the above configuration considerations, I plan on installing at least 2 an d more likely 4 additional GB of RAM. Some of the files I will be working with in CS3 will be well over a Gig, even a few in the 2 Gig range. All advice is welcome but I am especially interested inhearing from folks who have actually purchased and are running a MacPro.
