What IS this thing??? It seems like a great price on the 3 Ghz Mac Pro, but according to the Amazon specs it only has a 1.33 Ghz FSB instead of the standard 1.6 Ghz FSB.

I got an April ship date (21st), but it looks more like they just threw it 2 months out. I've had them do that for me as well when the date is arbitrary (I've had things come quicker and a few times they kept pushing it out).

Ah....the customer service rep I talked to said the description (Dual Core) is right and the title (Quad Core)is wrong. Conflicting stories I guess. He said that Amazon does the title, the supplier does the technical description. Though it looks like now the technical description has been changed to say "Quad Core" The retail price looks like it matches the current retail price of the Dual 3.0 Quad Core...I don't know, your guess is as good as mine!
228695
I doubt it, it looks (from the description) that it's actually the older 3.0 GHz Dual Core, not the 3.0 Quad Core as it says in the title....mistake?
228696
Yeah, this is pretty messed up. I have one of these "things" on order (it's not in stock, so no danger in it shipping soon) - I've e-mailed them to confirm whether or not it is what they claim it is. If not, I'll cancel it. The crazy thing is that I have a still-sealed 8 core 2.8 Ghz sitting in my office (also from Amazon) that I can't open until I find out whether this is an 8 core 3 Ghz (in which case I return the 2.8) or a 4 core 3 Ghz (in which case I cancel the order). So annoying.

I think mine says like April or something. But that's what my MacBook Air said too when I ordered it over the weekend, and it shipped yesterday. So who knows when this thing will ship.

But the description lists 2 GB RAM, 320 GB HD, and ATI X2600. All of those specs correspond to the current Mac Pro, not the previous version. The customer service guy I talked to claimed that the 1.33 Ghz FSB was a misprint (but they haven't corrected it yet). I'm really confused as to what this thing is.
228699
Ah, I see what you're saying, the Technical Description says Two Dual Core. But the title says Two Quad Core, and the RAM, gfx card, and HD all correspond to the current Mac Pro. Very confusing - I'm sending more e-mails to customer service.

Right there with you...with the rebate, it's actually cheaper than the 8-core 2.8 GHz.
228701
well, I spoke with two people at amazon and they say it IS for the new quad core 3.0 Ghz model. GREAT PRICE!

Reading the Apple Support forums, people are getting the black MacBooks now from Amazon even when they are quoted a July shipping date. Also, in the MB 1.83 Ghz Amazon forum, someone mentioned that he got his shipped and delivered earlier this month even when quoted a late shipping date.So I think that Amazon is just being conservative as Apple is notorious for not having enough supply for their products. I think Amazon is just trying to cover their butts in case Apple can't meet demand and doesn't allocate enough shipments to Amazon.

Well, Philip, I'll provide my opinion. I suspect that the "F" refers to "Fully Buffered". As to whether they would work for your MacPro 1.1, I don't know. I would recommend contacting someone at an Apple Store or obtaining the specs for your motherboard within the MacPro. Check the existing memory within the MacPro and determine whether it is fully buffered. You can't mix fully buffered and non-buffered memory together, based on my research and experience.

I have purchased 2 macs from Amazon with no problems, both were new non refurb units. Just make sure you buy it from Amazon and not an Amazon reseller

There's two systems 4702 or 4712. 2.2Ghz vs 2.3Ghz. The former is $1774 and latter is $2199.$1774 is great price. Price has probably been lowered to clear inventory. It's possible there may be hardware issues with 4702 that we're fixed in 4712 ( just speculation on my part ). $1774 is really good price. I paid $2199 for 4712.

The item I purchased did not have a 2.8 ghz cpu, it was 2.6 ghz. The seller corrected the item description during the buying process and I was satisfied, because the price was still good. The apple store did not list a 2.8 as an option, but the 2.6 was listed.

My Mac Pro is the 3,1. This card works well in it. Your Mac Pro is the 4,1. See here:http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-eight-core-2.26-early-2009-nehalem-specs.htmlI looked at the specs for the 1,1 2,1 3,1 and 4,1 the earlier modes have a slightly older versions of PCIe slots. You and I the same version and it is working for me. If there is some other issue I can not find it. If Apple Core Tech has a decent return policy go for it.

I TOO am looking for version B1, not only on amazon but everywhere online. I havent found any site that actually posts the version they are selling. This is crucial for me since I was informed that ONLY version B1 will work with my mac. If you (or anyone) finds a place that posts the availabilty of v. B1, pleease let me know.

I didn't use the disc and I have a Mac book pro and an Ipad3. I down loaded a PDF manual from the manufacturers site. The manual needs a little better explanation of the " Modes" of operation available but other than that it has what you need to know about the unit. Good little routers for cheap...I couldn't find any info on an internal firewall but in my application not an issue.

This worked fine with my Apple MacBook Pro MD101LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop (which is the version that first came out in mid-2012) When I went to the Apple store the other day, there was nothing listed as the "newest version" (and it wasn't printed on the box I received from Amazon.) Perhaps this is a designation Amazon has to note as a reseller.

I send the Mac with OSX Mavericks. Amazon does not let Sellers Update Specifications on All Amazon Listings. I cannot speak for Other Sellers. The Finest Macbooks - http://www.amazon.com/shops/A38OB0VFIV6QC4/ref=aag_d_sh

When you buy in apple you need to paid taxes, that why is almost the same price or more expensive at the store. I saw a few other online store selling the mac around $1100 after the $100 rebate, with free shipping and tax include. I hope amazon lower the price to $1100. I prefer to buy in amazon because I'm a prime member.

Hello Arun,I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support, here to address your question. I show that your Macbook Pro supports 1333MHz memory while part number KTA-MB1600/8G is 1600MHz. Since Apple computers tend to be very specific about the memory that will or will not work, this memory may not work properly in the system. The recommended 1333MHz module is part number KTA-MB1333/8G which is recommended and guaranteed to work in your system. For any further questions or concerns, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you.Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.

Christopher has the right idea. Check with Apple Jeffery. Options like the i7 2.6GHz processor and the Fusion Drive are BTO(Build to Order) options. You can get them directly from Apple online or at any Apple store. I went through the same thing with Best Buy until I realized what BTO meant. There is a short wait while they build your machine. It is actually kind of cool if you think about it, this way your Mac is assembled especially for you.

That's one of my favorite MacBook Pro models! Nickname is "Glossy". Yes, that is the correct RAM type and speed, but the A1150 only supports 2GB of RAM. If you install 4GB, it will not recognize the additional memory. This is the second generation of Intel Macs, and the memory addressing is limited by the processor and the logic board. It's also a 32-bit processor, so you're going to be limited in your upgrading options (both software and hardware) going forward. If you are looking to speed this computer up, you might consider upgrading the Hard Drive to a solid state drive. It isn't as fast as RAM, but it will minimize the "spinning colored wheel" you're probably getting when launching apps or browsing the internet. You can get a small SSD for &lt;$100. Installation is tricky if you've never done it before, so you might be springing for labor. Hope that helps.

I have a Mac Pro mid 2010 with a 2 x 2.4 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon 1066 Mhz DDR3 ECC and it worked flawlessly in mine. No issues what so ever, snapped right in and the Mac recognized it with zero issues.

Since they have i3, i5, and i7 in their new MacBook Pros, they will more than likely have the i3 or i5 in the Mini. I don't see the price dropping on this model since the prices for their other products have remained the same.I haven't seen the sales numbers on the Mini or Air...I just can't see many of them being sold since the computer market is being changed with the tablet style machines.
