Product Information

When you are looking for high performance with streamlined efficiency, look no further than the Apple Mac Pro MB871LL/A. This already powerful tower model supports an amazing amount of expandability beyond the standard memory, processors, hard drives, and graphics cards. The highly-ventilated case opens freely for owners who want to upgrade the computer independently. From editing videos to processing complex code, this tried-and-true Apple workhorse delivers monster processing speeds thanks to its 2.66 GHz Xeon quad-core processor. Released in March 2009, its Intel Xeon 45 nm Nehalem architecture has four independent cores on a single chip. Each core possesses its own dedicated 256MB level 2 cache, fully shared 8MB of level 3 cache, and integrated memory controller. What's more, the Nehalem Hyperthreading allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core for eight total cores. When you need an extra bit of speed and power, Turbo Boost can ramp up the processing speed even further to 2.93 GHz. All parts of the Apple Mac hardware are connected by a new QuickPath Interconnect system that provides quick access to all the subsystems.Featuring a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 graphics processor, the Apple Mac Pro makes rendering complex 3-D content a breeze. Each graphics card will support two 30-inch displays with digital resolutions up to 2560x1600, full HD cinema resolution. 512MB of VRAM is installed and up to four NVIDIA GeForce cards can be installed on one Mac Pro. Imagine a Mac Pro running up to 8 30-inch monitors fully loaded. Apple Macs are well known for their multitasking prowess. The standard 3GB RAM of system memory means you can work on your soundtrack in Logic Pro while your video is rendering in Final Cut Pro. This Mac Pro model uses 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAMs (PC3-8500) and its memory is accessible on a slide-out tray. By populating the four RAM slots instead with four 4GB memory modules, your system can be upgraded to a maximum of 16GB for even more capability. A 640GB SATA hard drive can be expanded all the way up to a whopping 4TB. SSD drives and hard drives are supported in the expansion bays. You can keep all your movies, photos, and documents and manage them with Apple iTunes and iPhoto. Create your own works as well with iMovie and Garage Band, all on this Mac.
