It is never too early to start pontificating on next year's Mac Pros and MacBidouille/Hardmac have today (tomorrow in France) put their cards on the table. They predict a burly monster of a Mac will come out of Cupertino in early 2010 sporting some pretty amazing specs. Here's their roster:
- 10GB Ethernet - I've been saying for awhile that this would be a great addition to both XServe and Mac Pro.
- Support for 8 and 16 GB RAM modules (vs. 4 GB today) to push the maximum memory to 128 GB.
- Support for video cards like GeForce Fermi or Radeon HD 5870
- The CPU will be Hexacore (6) CPU 32nm Gulftown Processor with 12 MB of shared cache
Hardmac thinks that Apple will get early access to this chip from Intel to showcase it in their new Mac Pros.
Us? We're excited about upgrading our switches to 10Gb. via MacRumors

This will seriously help with my game developement. Having pixelmator, Unity, xcode, blender, terminal, and Unity's live preview active kills my CPU.
What does it say about Macs
What does it say about Macs that you have to run Windows on it to get full technical information about the processor, RAM, and motherboard?

10Gb Ethernet?
Yeah right... Who is going to put a $5k+ XENPAK or X2 module in the thing? What will you plug it into a Cisco Nexus? 6500 with 6708 modules? 4900???
Not to mention the module those switches need. 10Gb Ethernet for anything but fibre and CX4 is a VERY long way off. The latter giving you a grand cable length of 15 metres.
Now the rest of that box I can handle :)
Hey Cisco guy, ever heard of
Hey Cisco guy, ever heard of 10GBaseT? I bet that what these mobo's are gonna come with.. There are a number of 10GBaseT copper switches on the market, e.g. Aristra.
Watch, it will cost $10,000+
Watch, it will cost $10,000+
If not on Mobo ...
May ship with an option to add this 10GBase-T NIC (very expensive):

or if running Windows (much much cheaper):

Propaganda songs and music
Propaganda songs and music have a long and storied history in the PRC and also in Nepal and Pakistan, and they figured prominently in the N10-003 exam popular culture of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Many of these songs were collected and performed as modern rock adaptations for several albums that were released during the 1990s, including 70-299 exam "Red Rock" and "Red Sun: Mao Zedong Praise Songs New Revolutionary Medley". The latter sold 6-10 million copies in China (see the external link on "Rethinking Cultural Revolution 646-204 exam Culture"). Most of the older songs praise Mao, the CPC, the 1949 revolution, the Chinese Red Army and the People's Liberation Army, the unity of the ethnic groups of China, and the various ethnic groups' devotion to Mao and the CPC.
