I need to purchase a new Mac, it has to be a Mac PRo as I need the PCIe slots. I jan afford the Quad Core just about, but Iw as thinking, after the warranty is out, could I theoretically upgrade the CPU by either obtaining the 3.2 or better still throw another one in to make an 8 core? Nasty idea I know, but it is a better alternative than breaching the EULA, or even worse switching to the dark side.
