Comments about Apple Mac Pro Desktop Computer Workstation:
I'm an amateur photographer who spends a considerable amount of time processing images on my computer. I bought an Intel Mac Pro to replace a G5 PowerMac that gave me four years of excellent service. I was interested in the increased speed that came with this machine, both because of the processor speed and from the fact Adobe products are designed to work with the Intel chip.I was amazed at how easy it was to upgrade RAM and install three additional hard drives. I'd say it took me all of ten minutes. This computer is a dream to work on. It is also whisper quiet.[...] I can't recommend too highly this company AND this computer. I've used Macs for fifteen years and have NEVER been disappointed.
