The Customized Mac Pro Desktop Computer Workstation from Apple is the company's premiere desktop workstation. The system is built with professionals in mind and is an ideal computer for video professionals, photographers, and graphic designers.

The system is powered by 2 dual-core Intel Xeon 5100 CPUs running at a clockspeed of 2.0 GHz each.

The system also boasts 1 GB of RAM, 250 GB hard drive capacity, Apple's 16x SuperDrive DVD burner with dual-layer disc support and nVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics with 256 MB of memory.

Apple has preinstalled Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" on the computer. The 64-bit OS takes full advantage of the Xeon processors that form the heart of the system. Leopard includes such software applications as Time Machine, Spaces, Spotlight, Dashboard, Mail, iChat AV, Safari, QuickTime, and iCal. You'll also be happy to know that iLife '08, the popular digital life suite that includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie HD, iDVD, iWeb, and GarageBand is preinstalled on the computer.

The MacPro is an excellent choice for any professional, power user or Mac aficionado.

The Mac Pro features a PCI Express expansion architecture for adding cards to the system. PCI Express paves the way for emerging solutions for media and networking, making it a future-savvy choice for your lab or studio. The Mac Pro features 4 total PCI Express slots, 3 of which are open in this system configuration. Each slot supports a x16 PCI Express expansion card, giving you extreme flexibility in adding cards to your system.
