Ars deconstructs the Mac Pro, before it arrives

G5 I’m one of those, waiting with baited breath for WWDC and hopefully, a Mac Pro announcement. My Power Mac G4 MDD (you want to talk about noise problems with your MacBook Pro? you don’t have it that bad) is starting to show its age… in a big way. I need a replacement and I’m ready for Intel.

With every machine transitioned, my mind started racing with possibilities. Lately, I’ve started reading the rumor sites with renewed enthusiasm. With all these specs being thrown around, I needed a guide to all this new hardware. Ars Technica is my guide. They’re predicting Xeon processors for the mid-range and high-end Mac Pros, with a Conroe in the entry-level. Naturally, I don’t be settling for anything but the middle one.

The rumor sites seem to just like throwing out numbers. Ars explains why theirs make sense.
