Mac Pro Nehalem review updated

I’ve added some new material to my Mac Pro Nehalem review, including a page on scalability with Photoshop CS4 (how many cores are really used), file save and open speed in CS4, notes on compatibility.

16 Cores in Photoshop CS—75% idle

And some good news: Other World Computing (OWC) tells me that 4GB memory modules for the 2009 Mac Pro Nehalem should soon come down to a reasonable level, still a lot higher than the 2008 Mac Pro, but much less than what Apple charges. Stay tuned—I’ll be testing and reporting on those modules next week.
