My quad core Mac Pro finally arrived yesterday much to the relief of the people at work as I am no longer able to parrot out every 5 minutes “Where’s my spy camera”.
I’ve never used a Mac for day to day tasks before so I’m more than a little daunted. I took it home to get it all set-up and to get used to it before I deploy it at work (as I can’t afford to lose any productivity).
On first impressions the build quality is superb and adding the extra 2GB RAM that I bought from Crucial was a doddle as was adding two additional ’spare’ SATA disks that I had and then creating a striped RAID array out of them.
I also installed VMWare Fusion as it seems to do all of the things that Parallels does but is free (currently anyway); it seemed very happy with a Win XP x64 install but then it should as I gave it 1GB of my 4 GB’s of RAM).
Anyway, back to being productive.
P.S.
