Sep 19, 2010m having trouble deciding between these two models. Might get the 3.33 Ghz 6c Westmere but leaning towards the 8c models. Why is the 2009 Nehalem faster? The guy at the Apple store was suprised by that also. Are there any changes in the 2010 2.4 8c Westmere from the 2009 Nehalem model?I will be using it for intensive music software (Prottools, Digital Performer, East West, Symphobia, Vienna Symp Inst. All web and graphics software (Photoshop, Flash, InDesign, etc and Astronomy programs)

Oct 27, 2010I bought the the 2010 Mac Pro after much debating on whether to build a hackintosh or not.I bought the low end model from B&H Photo given it was the best price for the low end model and secondly knowing that I would be upgrading it.I bought the W3680 3.33 GHz westmere from an eBay seller for $899 plus shipping. This was cheaper than either the 980x non xeon version or the Newegg w3680 (or most other site prices for the w3680) which seems hard to find. Overall, even if I could not sell the 2.8GHz w3530 xeon which came with the machine I would be out $899 vs $1200 plus tax from Apple (about a $400 outright saving).

View 3 Replies View RelatedMac :: RAM For 6 Core Westmere Pro In 3x1GB Modules
Oct 10, 2010I've read many of the threads regarding RAM pricing and configurations for the 6-Core systems. I planned on ordering my Pro with 6Gb instead of the default 3GB, but my friend at Apple forgot when he placed the order. what I understand RAM module placement and type may significantly impact system performance for this platform. As I need to double the RAM, should I purchase 3x1GB modules to add or purchase 3x2GB models and sell the 3x1 that came with the system? Also, which is the best RAM retailer, OWC, Crucial, etc?
View 5 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: 3.33 GHz Westmere 6 Core Xeon Upgrade
Apr 14, 2010I'm getting so bored of waiting for Apple to bring out a new Mac Pro. So I'm now thinking why it's not possible to upgrade the processors in my dual 2.66 quad core Intel Xeon Nehalem to the new Westmere 3.33 GHz 6 core Xeon processors.They run the same voltage range so the existing power supply should be fine, have the same 1366 socket and can use the same RAM specs. Cooling should be fine as wel However, will the motherboard in the dual Nehalem Mac's run Westmere processors? Does the BIOS need to be upgraded? Would a 3rd party motherboard run them instead?I'm gathering no one has done this yet.

Jul 27, 2010Before everyone says "IT DOESNT HAVE B1 STEPPING!!!" hear me out.The new 2010 Mac Pro's that were just released have options for both the 4-8 core and 6-12 core option. This coupled with the fact that nothing has changed other than graphics cards etc. makes me think if someone could extract the EFI code, they could just drop it into an 09 and it would include B1 stepping, so people like me could just drop in a 3.33 Westmere and call it a day.Again, I have no idea about anything EFI, it just seems like much more a possbility now that both the 4-8 core and 6-12 core versions are running on basically the same machine.

Mac :: Westmere In New Mac Pro? - Speed Increase Come From DDR3 Memory
Jan 8, 2009What do you guys think?I am also curious as to the clock speed of the new upcoming processors. Online it says the fastest one they have is 3.2 GHZ, so will the speed increase come from DDR3 memory and no frontside bus?Does anyone know the actual technical differences between the current processors and the upcoming, other than the memory and frontside bus?
View 11 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: 3.33GHz 6-Core Or The 2.4GHz 8-Core Westmere?
Oct 8, 2010They're both Intel Xeon Westmere's, but I was planning on buying the 8-core today. However, another commentator mentioned the 3.33GHz 6-core Westmere being a faster/better choice than the 2.4GHz 8-Core Westmere. Is this due to the 1 6-Core processor versus 2 Quad-Core processors and how the system utilizes threading, etc of each?

Anything there?I am using CS5, FCP, XCode, and performing some data analysis.Do I need to be concerned about this anything at all I am missing out on?

Aug 28, 2009I couldn't wait any longer. I was going to wait until tomorrow, but I decided to test it out today. The following is a short video clip of the X25-M in action under Snow Leopard (on my late 2008 uMBP 2.53 GHz, 4 GB RAM).
It's not much of a benchmark. I simply selected everything in the Applications folder and hit open to start all the programs at the same time.
Needless to say, I am happy with the results!

Intel Mac :: No Video On Boot
Jun 22, 2012Odd problem that just started with my 2008-ish iMac. Probably not related, but iTunes did it's typical thing of hard freezing my entire system. I hard rebooted my iMac, and it rebooted with no video. It chimed, but the screen remained black. I searched for the problem and found an old Apple article that suggested resetting the PRAM. Not really believing it would work, I tried it anyway and, still no video.
I let it boot for what I believed was a reasonable amount of time to get to the log in screen. Then I hit the F-buttons for volume and received the chirp letting me know that I was changing the volume. I hit the F-buttons for brightness, but did not get anything from the screen. I was working, so I shut it down again, let it sit, and started it up later. Video! It started up just fine. I know it probably needs to go to the Apple Store, but I am not going to be able to get down there for a day or two.
Info:iMac (24-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.7.4) Reboot...no video.
