      Introduced on Monday, August 7, at Apples Worldwide Developers Conference, the Intel-based Mac Pro bears a striking resemblance to its PowerPC G5 predecessor. Apple expanded its front-side array of ports; it now provides FireWire 400 and 800 connections

      From the back of box, we can see the expansion connectors and the networking ports. A latch on the left hand side unlocks the side panel for access. Along the top of the new Mac Pro chassis are four direct-attached SATA (Serial ATA) storage bays, each wit

      The new Mac workstation supports 8GB of RAM in each of two bays (16GB total), and above, three full-length PCI Express cards. To the left of the RAM cage is an unmarked section for the pair of Xeon processors. No Intel Inside sticker he

      The new Mac Pro can handle a double-wide, 16-lane PCI Express graphics card. In the PowerMac G5, the larger card gets in the way of one of the PCI Express card slots. But the new model lets users pack three cards and the larger video cards.
