Ok, you have to point me in the proper direction in regards to applications etc. to test :)

What would be meaningful to you guys?

It is basically just a glorified PC but with the great engineering and design by Apple.

This thing is absolutely gorgeous inside.

What size chip did you get for your processors. I have a mac book pro. 65 thickness xeon dual core 2.6. Try http://www.xbench.com/. I pretty much googled it and found it in a second. I'll post mine also.

Yeah maybe there should be an XBench thread in this section...post mine here for now.

Mac Pro
Dual Core Xeon 5150 2.66Ghz x 2
4GB DDR2-667 FB-DIMM

Will run later it on a few other Macs around the office for comparison's sake.

How does the mac pro have 1600 FSB?

Easy, it uses a quad-pumped 400Mhz Front Side Bus.

Easy, it uses a quad-pumped 400Mhz Front Side Bus.

It has dual independent FSB's ...

So kinda like 8x 400Mhz...
