Original Mac Pro vs. New High End iMac

I need some advice on whether to upgrade my system, based on the new iMacs just released. Here is what I currently own:
Mac Pro with two Intel 2.66 dual-core processors
(Early 2007 edition)
16x SuperDrive
6 GB of RAM
1 TB HD
ATI Radeon X1900 XT (512 MB)
23" Apple Cinema Display
I'm thinking of selling all of that and buying the new high-end 27" iMac...
2.66 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB of memory (I'd upgrade it to 8 GB)
2 TB Hard Drive
ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card
27" display (included)
I've done the research and I would roughly break even. Cost is not a concern. The following factors are under consideration...
What is the performance difference between the 4 cores I have in the 2.66 Xeon vs the 4 cores in the Core i5?
My X1900 graphics card is not supported under Snow Leopard's OpenCL. The new HD 4850 would be.
I'd like to have the larger display (27" vs. 23") and the built-in video camera for iChat video conferencing.
I am not a professional user. I consider myself a high-end consumer user, primarily doing HD video editing with iMovie, some video encoding with Handbrake, and "prosumer" work with RAW files in Aperture. The rest is basic use- such as email, internet, etc.
I would love to have some objective advice on this decision!
Thanks....

If performance of the current system is acceptable, I would keep it and use it as long as possible. You have the capability to do things like replace the display (with a new one of your choosing), upgrade the video card, and add additional internal SATA drives. Having additional internal storage at SATA speed, and using separate drives to store OS/apps and user data, will increase your system's productivity.
When performance of your Mac Pro is no longer acceptable, get a new Mac Pro.

  • Jump from 2.8 Dual Xeon Mac Pro to new 2.4GHz Macbook Pro with LED Cinema?

    So about a month ago I decided to upgrade an older Macbook Pro to my dream computer... I bought the Octo 2.8GHz Xeon Mac Pro, added 1.6TB of drive space, 10GB of RAM, the Nvidia 8800 GT, and a 23" Apple Cinema Display.
    I LOVE the machine. That said...
    Stopped over at Apple the other day and saw the new Macbook Pro connected to the 24" LED Cinema Display. GORGEOUS. Love it. Long story short, I am considering moving back to the Macbook Pro and new ACD to go with it.
    So my question is this : What kind of performance drop am I going to take if I do this? Are people really using these new MBPs as full desktop replacements? Has anyone jumped from Mac Pro to new MBP and been 100% happy?
    I have found with my Mac Pro that I am NEVER stressing the machine, ever. No matter what size file I am working with, no matter what game I am playing, the thing is always fast and smooth. But while playing with the MBP (it was 2.4GHz) and new LED ACD at the Apple Store I noticed that things like Photoshop and Illustrator launched every bit as fast as on my Mac Pro - even Aperture was speedy and extremely usable! I think the dock magnification seemed a touch jerky when compared to my Mac Pro - but maybe not... can't find any real stats on it.
    I normally work in Aperture and Photoshop/Illustrator, have iTunes running, iCal, Pages and Numbers, Keynote, Mail, and do just a touch of video compression every now and then (format conversion). I realize these tasks don't pose any challenges to the Mac Pro - but what about the newer MBP?
    I would be ordering the MBP with 2.4GHz, upgrading the RAM to 4GB, and the HDD to a 320GB 7200RPM Seagate.
    My main motivation is to be able to continue to work on the Cinema Display that I have grown to LOVE, while also becoming a bit mobile again! It IS nice to sit on the couch sometimes and web browse. It wouldn't be worth it to me to gain mobility and lose all the power though, so...
    How about it? Given what I do, is the 2.4GHz MBP a suitable replacement for the Mac Pro that I have?

    Thanks for reading through the small book I wrote there and adding some info to it - greatly appreciated.
    I have found on the Mac Pro I am simply astounded by the way games look at 1920x1200 on 'Very High' settings! But... I also have pretty much stopped playing them. Working on the Mac Pro all day, it would be very nice to sit back on the couch if I want to play a game. Granted the PS3 I have just can't compete with the Mac Pro in quality, but it's decent enough for the small bit of games I play and the Blu Ray drive is nice too for movies. So, I'd say I'm ok losing the gaming part of the Mac Pro as the PS3 is sufficient enough and more convenient so I can actually sit back and relax.
    I think you're absolutely correct on the rendering. When I work with video, I usually am converting 2-8 minute Quicktime Movies in to Flash Video format using QT Pro. The Mac Pro SCREAMS through this in 1-2 minutes, my older Macbook Pro was about 5-7 mins for the same file.
    Looking back, my MBP wasn't as old as I thought (I had an iMac in between there I don't care to remember) : it was a 2.4GHz Penryn with 200GB 5400 HDD, and 2GB RAM with 256MB VRAM. So basically, the new MBP and the "old" MBP I had are very close to each other... biggest differences are the new 1066mhz front side bus and Nvidia GPU - other than that, these are identical machines!
    I was never very happy working on the MBP full time - but I now know that was due to the screen size. Working on the Cinema is great and selling my current Mac Pro and Cinema and getting the new MBP and Cinema will allow me to work and be mobile, as well as put $1000 back in my pocket.
    Might be nuts, but man I'd love to see some comparisons between the Mac Pro and MBP from Bare Feats or Ars. I'm definitely in the minority here - no one using Quickbooks and Photoshop as much as I do "needs" an octocore Mac Pro. But, I've got one and love it. It seems for what I'm doing the decrease in performance might be negligible, if not undetectable entirely (aside from gaming and enconding).

  • Migrate the Production APPS and DB to New High End Server

    Hi,
    current Low end server:
    Single Node Installation: DB & APPS
    Version: 12.1.1 (11.1.0.7)
    Operating System: Redhat Linux 5.4 (x86-64)
    We have bought new high end machine with more cpu, RAM anad More Hard Disks.
    We are going to move everything from current low end server to new high end server.
    1. Install Linux 64 bit on New High End Server with required RPMS, Kernel Parameters, User Limits etc etc
    2. Make partitions on this server as same as current server ( Mount Points should be same as current server)
    3. Make users and groups and assign proper permissions on partitions
    4. Maintain same hostname and IP Address in Target Server
    5. Run Preclone in both DB Tier and Apps Tier in Source Server
    6. Take backup of current server and copy it to Target Server
    7. Shutdown the Source Server
    8. Run config clone on Target Server
    9. Start the Services in Target Server, after clonining, Make sure that all services are running including concurrent managers
    10. Configure Printers at OS Level with same in Oracle Applications Printers Screen
    12. Copy the Backup scripts from source to target server
    13. If tape drive is configured at current server, configure it new Server as well.
    Please let me know, if i miss anything....
    thanks in advance......

    Hi oraDBA2,
    It's been long time, how are you doing?
    Your steps are correct and I would say there is nothing missing. Please note the mount points on the target node(s) do not have to follow the same naming you have on the source node as you are going to run postclone on the target server(s). However, keeping it the same would make it more straightforward. As long as you have all pre-req. OS packages and software installed and you are going to keep the same hostname/domainname as well as IP Address, you should be good.
    An alternative would be restoring the files on the target node(s) without running preclone/postclone but this requires relinking as per the following documents.
    Note: 356878.1 - How to relink the whole Applications 11i Installation
    Note: 131321.1 - How to Relink Oracle Database Software on UNIX
    Note: 407055.1 - Process To Upgrade the Operating System and Oracle Database Server
    Since Rapid Clone is your option (which I personally prefer) you can skip this part as relinking will be done by Rapid Clone, so you do not have to worry about it.
    Good luck!
    Thanks,

  • Rumor: Nokia to reveal new high end smartphone soon

    Forbes is reporting from anonymous source that Nokia is going to announce a new high end smartphone at the start of MWC (2/27).  No word if it's a Windows Phone device or not.
    Speculation on some of the posts throughout the interwebs is that it might be the 801 running Belle

    John,
    Neither is an ideal machine. 64MB VRAM (and other video card factors) is not sufficient to run all Photoshop features. But the G5 may also need a video card upgrade (check Adobe's list of appropriate cards), which may or not be practical. And more and more apps are being developed for Intel only, so you are buying dated technology either way.
    I'd be looking into a more capable Intel machine, either second-hand, refurbished, or as a lease (if for business).

  • What is the best graphics card compatible with the original Mac Pro?

    I have an original Mac Pro with dual 2.0GHz DC Xeons.  It currently has a GeForce 7300.  I would like to know the best Apple graphics card it can support, and the best "flashed" PC graphics card it can support.  I would like to be able to play games, but it doesn't have to be on BEST settings.  What are the best GPUs that are compatible with Mac Pro 1,1?
    Thanks!!

    You may have to work at getting the ATI HD5870 to work with a Rev 1.1 MacPro, but the 5770 should be fine.  It's not as good a card as the 5870, but much faster than your original, and also a lot cheaper than the 5870!  That said, neither is particularly cheap.
    If you're techno savvy, you can have a much bigger choice, and can use a generic PC card and 'flash' it to work with the Mac.  If you use Snow Leopard or Lion, you may get it to work straight off, as they have drivers that work on many of the PC cards.

  • Transfer files from old Mac Pro to new iMac

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro with Snow Leopard and just purchased a new iMac with Maverick. How do I transfer my files (iPhoto library, address book, documents, etc.)? Can I connect the two computers or must I download the files to an EHD and then import them to the new iMac? If I can connect them, what is the procedure?

    iPhoto can see my old library (I can select it using "Swtich to Library...") but the photos are not showing -- I am getting an empty library with all the introductory "get started" info.
    Try to open the copied library by double-clicking it in the Finder. iPhoto does obviously not open your selected library, but creates a new one.
    How did you copy using the network? Are you signed into the new mac and copy as the user on your new mac? Or are you copying while being signed in on your old mac?
    iPhoto '08, Mac OS X (10.6.8), iPhoto 7.1.5 obsolete?
    If your old library really still is iPhoto 7.1.5, run iPhoto Library Upgrader first:

  • Old Mac Pro vs. new iMac?

    I have a nearly three year old Mac Pro that is currently being serviced at my local Apple Store. For almost three years I have had trouble with it -- first it spontaneously rebooted itself which was fixed by replacing power supply, logic board and processor. The other problem is the recurring (but randomly recurring) seizing of Time Machine. I've tried three separate external hard drives, three different cables, all the FW ports, archive and reinstall twice, erase and reinstall twice, and hours on the phone with tech support. No one knows what to do. I have no confidence that they'll find anything this time either. I've just about had it. And my Apple Care runs out in two weeks. So...I'm thinking of getting a new iMac to replace it, because I'm not doing the heavy duty phot/video/design work on the Pro that I thought I was going to do. I know it's a hard question to answer, but aside from the speed, which I probably won't notice that much, what are the biggest trade-offs "stepping down" to the iMac? Thanks

    Your 2nd and 3rd disk drives will be external Firewire 800 drives. Slower than internal drives.
    You can't change your mind. No video card upgrades 2 years down the road. What you buy is what you live with. You can expand memory to 16GB (which seems plenty to me) and you can (with some effort) replace the disk drive with a larger one.
    On the other hand:
    1. Less money, a lot less.
    2. An awesome 27-inch monitor.
    3. Close to the same performance. See http://marketingtactics.com/Speedmark/
    4. Quiet.

  • Can I use old Mac Pro with new iMac?

    I have a Mac Pro (Pre 2007) running on 10.6.8 that is ok for now, but experiencing some degradation in performance. I have 4 drive bays full and memory maxed out. I am looking for a desktop solution that would allow the option to have the latest OSX (such as the latest iMac) and access this old Mac Pro still. Is this possible?
    If so, what are some of the caveats?
    SoftwareEx: CS6 is compatible with new OSX, but will files saved on new computer still be accessible on old computer?
    Access to files
    NetworkCurrently using older version of Airport Extreme for home office setup
    Any insights would be helpful! I hate the thought of this old workhorse turning into nothing more than an external hard drive, but it is not upgradable to the new operating system.

    It sounds like what you want to do is create a simple peer network so you can use the Mac Pro as a storage unit.
    This is easy to do, just connect the two with an ethernet cable and log on using the logon and password for the system you want to access. In the general case, this is a bad idea since you you have unrestricted access but you own both machines so security is a very low priority.
    Caveats:
         The OS version will determine what apps a machine can run.
         Data is just data as long as both systems use HSF+ or some other common file system.
         Airport may or may not work... but a hard wire will always get it done and transfers data a lot faster.
    You almost never get to have it ALL your way when mixing generations of systems, but if you keep it simple it works well. I've had a peer network with 4-6 systems running in my house since the turn of the century. Most Macs support 1000 baseT (gigabit ether) so data transfers up to 80-90MB/sec are easy.

  • Old Mac Pro vs New Mac Pro?

    I just ordered a Mac Pro yesterday. I ordered the one with 2 x Quald Core Intel Xeon CPUs. Today I read that Apple "upgraded" their models and that I will most likely get a Mac Pro featuring only ONE Quad Core Xeon CPU. The price interestingly went up!
    I get the impression that what I ordered was a BETTER computer with less memory/HD/Graphics than the new model.
    Am I totally wrong here? If I am correct, I need to cancel my order ASAP and keep on using my iMac a while longer.
    Any advise Ladies and Gentlemen?

    First confirm if they will automatically change your order, they might, depending on configuation. Or they may have to contact you due to change in price or something.
    Hard to know without some real hands on.
    I know that DDR3 + Nehalem = huge improvement in memory bandwidth.
    But I see where the new low end 4-core maxes out at 8GB RAM.
    http://www.barefeats.com has some early "ideas" of what to expect.
    Clock for clock, Nehalem is more efficient and can under heavy use run two threads per core.
    Personally, I am surprised at the cpu configurations offered.

  • Original Mac Pro 2.66 Quad any good?

    I am considering buying a used Mac Pro.  I would like the 2009 Nehalem Quad 2.66, but those cost $1,500+ from what I have seen.  I've noticed that the 2006 Woodcrest Quad 2.66 machines can be had for less than $1,000.  I currently use a late 2008 MacBook Pro C2D 2.4GHz unibody, with 8 GB OWC RAM, and it is very fast, and does everything that I need a computer to do.  My uses are Photoshop CS5, Nikon Scan 4.02, general internet use, e-mail, itunes/iphone, and gaming.  Would an older 2006 Mac Pro 2.66 quad be able to do that stuff well?  Would it be as fast as my MacBook Pro?
    Is the older machine a waste of money and outdated, or still viable?
    Jared

    the mac pro 1,1 has been selling for under $1,000 for the years, sometimes more but that is rare.
    Pressure from new 2011 Sandy Bridge laptops and iMac has pushed the price down.
    People can run 10.410 which also for some is ideal unless they 'want' to shell out thousands on new software and sometmes new hardware.
    Unless you actually own and use one, you won't know.
    Or frequent other discussions and what is being said and market.
    But $1200 is too much and $800 has been common for the last two years.
    But 8-core 2.66s can be installed easily enough and rival any 2009 model other than lack of DDR3 (much cheaper than our FBDIMMs), and of course there is just such a huge selection of one (or two possible) graphic cards. No GTX 580 for you or us unless you run and use it as a PC Window which it does quite well also.

  • Can a 2012 Mac Pro use a 2012 27in iMac as a primary display?

    Greetings all,
    I am trying to spec out a trade show configuration. It will have a Mac Pro, A couple iMacs, a few Macbook Pros
    and a couple iPads. What I need to know is if one of the iMacs can serve as the display for the Mac pPro. The money
    is not an issue, but the number of cases to be shipped might be problematic.
    Once again, this is NEW hardware 2012 iMac and 2012 Mac pro.
    Any advice sent my way would be useful.
    Cheers,
    Kev

    Unfortunately currently no because the current Mac Pro's do not support Thunderbolt output which is the only method to use the current iMac's in Target Display Mode. However you can get external displays such as the Apple LED display that can be used as an external display for the Mac Pro and an iMac.
    Here is an article that discusses Target Display Mode:

  • Sell old mac pro for new mac pro?

    Ok, so I have a mac pro, 3ghz quad, x1900xt, 4 gb ram. I figure I could sell this for at least 2799.
    question is, will the base model (2.8 octo) be faster that my 3 ghz quad. I am not talking about the video card. But if I were encode a 5 minute video in quicktime, which would be faster, and by how much.
    my quad has a higher clock speed, but not by much.
    the 2.8 is octo, and has a higher front side bus.
    Basically, would you sell a 3 ghz quad, to get the 2.8 ghz octo. I am willing to do it if i get the feedback saying there would be a noticeable difference. Let me know what you think

    i also am thinking of doing it now, because I think if i wait i won't get as much off ebay. You should definetely do it, because you have the 2.66 quad, so you are definitely stepping up.

    well yes and no, since alot of the new MacPros probably havent shipped just yet....there is still of Quadcore stock out there, and youll be competing with alot of others doing the same thing, so it depends on timing and pricing.
    also factoring in condition of the unit and accessories you can include to up the ante from the othe rsellers. maybe give it some time and see?
    im in t he same position, i got my MacPro 2.66 and didnt realize it was already 9 months since they came out and i suspected some sort of revisions soon and couldnt refund it or anything as it was BTO w/ ATI
    if you do do it soon, let me know how it goes. im just hesitant since im still liking Tiger, and alot of my stuff runs perfectly fine under tiger, i just dont want to regret having to focus on a whole new OS that still isnt patched things with alot of Programs/Apps.

  • What graphics cards does the original Mac Pro support?

    I am thinking about buying a used original 2007 Mac Pro. This Mac Pro would not come with a graphics card, so I am obviously responsible for finding one for it. I found a Radeon HD 5770 that I like on Newegg, and want to know if it would work with the Mac Pro. I really can't imagine it not, but don't want to toss a piece of hardware in my new machine that won't work.
    Here's the graphics card in question: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127490
    So, will it work? If not, is my only option for a 5770 the one that is available on the Apple Online Store? What other cards does this Mac Pro support?
    Thanks, guys (and gals)!

    http://forum.netkas.org/
    http://myworld.ebay.com/macvidcards/
    Apple's 5770 $249 for now is the 'safe' but not best in price and whether you want to run OS X ____ ? limits you also, so unless you run 10.6.5 or Lion even the 5770 is out

  • Moving a folder from Mac Pro to new MacBook Pro

    I have a new 15" retina MBP and an older MacPro desktop, both for work.  I like to move my Mail folder between the machines - to the MBP when out of office then back to the Mac Pro when I return.  I was able to do this easily via Firewire with my older MBP.  When I connect via the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter, I can see each machine but that's as far as it goes.  I cannot connect and therefore cannot transfer the folder.  I resorted to using Target Disk Mode, but I don't want to do this every time.  MBP is running Mountain Lion and Mac Pro is running Lion.  Any thoughts?

    I've got a time machine backup on an internal HDD that also contains a partition for bootcamp and a partition for scratch use with photoshop cs3. I also have an external HDD for use with superduper. It has one partition for my startup disk and another for my home folder.
    However, I don't know if the time machine option will work for me as it resides on an internal 3.5 HDD, unless I can somehow connect the macbook to the mac pro via ethernet and copy the time machine data that way.
