- The T5500 model will be powered by two Xeon and will support up to 72 GB of RAM. Starting price would be 1620 USD.
- The high-end T7500 model, will also be sporting two Xeon, but one could be able to install up to 192 GB or RAM. Starting price in this case will be 1800 USD.
If it is too early compare the price Mac Pro with models from Dell, as configurations are not accessible yet, one can play a simple game, and try to identify which of the following two computers illustrate Dell's skill for integration?

AMD Will Launch its Radeon HD 4890 on April 2nd
It is on April 2nd that AMD/ATI will officially launch the new flagship, the Radeon HD 4890, which should be immediately available.
Without bringing any deep modifications, when compared to the Radeon HD 4870 recently made available for Mac Pro owners, the Radeon HD 4890 brings an average 10% performance gain. This is mostly achieved by increasing both GPU and memory frequencies. In addition, some early tests have shown that this graphic card can easily and stably be overclocked. Some sites claim to have pushed the GPU fequency to 1 GHz instead of the default 850 MHz. The best news is most probably its price, as it should be around 250 USD. If one can find a way to flash this GPU with the bios from a Mac edition card, the Radeon HD 4890 might also become popular among Mac users, especially for those who do not need the DisplayPort output.
