Test Machine Configurations
A big thanks to Other World Computing for loaning MPG the upgraded 2013 Mac Pro and to B&H Photo for loaning the 6-core Mac Pro.
OWC offers more CPU options at a cost savings for upgrading the 2013 Mac Pro CP. The 8-core 3.3 GHz is one of several highly attractive options.
