Mac Pro “Nehalem” 2.93GHz — coming Monday

Following up on yesterday’s comments on delayed delivery, my Mac Pro 2.93GHz has shipped and is due to show up on Monday, with initial impressions to follow asap. Ironically, Apple shipped it one day late, and I could pick it up tomorrow at the FedEx depot, but Apple marked the shipment as not allowing pickup that way! WTF.

Based on numbers and feedback I’m getting from Rob-Art over at barefeats.com, the new Mac Pro has some odd properties with respect to memory configuration, so it will prove quite interesting to investigate and sleuth-out, especially with real-world tasks.

I’ll be teaching everything I know about infrared to a well-known photographer on Wednesday, which takes precedence over computer testing for one day, so Monday and Tuesday nights are going to be very busy!
