hi,
in need of purchasing mac pro work station, more or less asap. looking @ buying used model, , have found 2 options: 2008 8 core 2.8 ghz model or 2009 2.93 ghz quad core model. both have 3gb of ram upgrade @ least 12gb. can either of these same price (around $1500). use machine encoding video files in compressor , final cut 7. wouldn't used in way of editing or rendering, taking files , encoding them different playback uses.
thoughts on if advantages of newer processor on 2009 machine outweigh 8 cores of older machine? know there rumors floating of new mac pros imminently, but, i'm not holding breath, , honestly, need in next week.
had considered buying new imac quad i7 model, ease of adding more hds internally, , may need install video i/o card in future, having pci expansions bonus.
