Why macs suck.
If you want to upgrade, New computer! It's not like just changing a processor for a PC or Motherboard! You Need a COMPLETELY New computer! Which Will cost over $1500. If you wanna do those changes in a pc probably $500 max
I just wanna know..

CPU: Dual Quad-Core 2.93 GHz Intel Xeon
GFX: 4x NVIDIA GT 120
MOBO: How the figgles m'I supposed to know..
OS: Mac OS X 10.6.4 on HDD 1 and Windows 7 Ultimate on HDD 2, HDD's 3 & 4 are unallocated
New Mac Pro with 12 Cores ordered, specs are as followed!
2x 2.93 GHz Intel Xeon Westmere 6 Core Processors - 12 CORES!
32GB DDR3 RAM (8x4GB)
3x 2TB Drives, 1x 512GB SSD
Two ATI Radeon HD 5770's 1GB each

Macs and PCs have their ups and downs, so I like both alot.
And I an't trollin, this is over 15 thousand I spent :\
Hell yea =D
But it can get complicated if you have RAM over 12GB and over two cores, and in some cases two cores is very frustrating.
I was planning to not buy a mac and just hack my PC, but all the kernel panics were a living hell
so I Just said fk it and ordered the 8 core Mac
