    Hello

    You have an old Macpro, you are wondering

    is the more recent MAC PRO are faster, and how faster , does it worth changing my MAC PRO, what I am going to gain

    Is my Macpro 3 ghz slower that the new 2.4 ghz ?

    I have start to make a page for this, it is at :

    http://cyrilblanc.fr/Cyril_Blanc/Mac.html

    You will se the result of my Macpro 3ghz

    If you want to participate :

    Get Xbench at www.xbench.com (it's free)

    install it

    Run it and select only :

    CPU TEST

    TREAD TEST

    do a copy and paste of the results and send it to me 5there is a link at the bottom of my web page or paste it in this tread
    Can you also specify the generation of MACpro and what speed is the ram  (to find out this you fo in the Apple/about this MAC/ and you copy the line :

    If you run logic, there are some audio benchmarks you can run with it.

    There are already lots of xbench and geekbench results online if you search for them.

    Hi Mike

    Thanks for your answer

    The goal of this study is to test the brute power of the processor

    If I want to replace my 8 core 3 ghz 1st generation Macpro and I have to pay  4000 € to get a new macpro to gain only 10 % it does not worth. You better keep my Macpro and  invest in a second 2000 € Macpro

    I have a MacPro 1.1 (2 x 2.66) purchased 01/2007. I've heard a lot about upgrading the CPU and am thinking seriously about buying 2 x X5355 processors (about 200€ each) to make it into a 8 core. Apparently changing the chip isn't that difficult.[B]
