Mac Pro Launched

Steve Jobs announced the Mac Pro today. For a base configuration of $2499, you get 2 dual core 2.66ghz Xeon "Woodcrest" processors (basically Conroe for servers), 1 GB of RAM, and a Nvidia 7300GT graphics card. I'm sure glad I bought my Intel Conroe upgrade/ATI 1900XT combo for less than $1000. It doesn't look like gamers who want Conroe performance will be able to get a good price/performance combo deal under the Apple banner in the next 6 months at least.
