![]() To my mind, why bother going with the 'latest and greatest' if you can't start with max performance right out of the gate? Why go with the 'latest and greatest' and then cripple it with a slow CPU and less than max memory? Usually it's because of cost considerations, no?, that one intends to upgrade later on. ![]() The reason to go with DDR4 is because of RAM prices, with DDR4 being cheaper than DDR3, along with the 64GB versus 32GB limit. It's why upgrading to the latest Intel hardware doesn't really give a major performance boost, say, going with DDR4 2133 - it isn't any faster than DDR3 2400. Your assessment is valid for most hardware upgrades, though - provided one starts with the fastest CPU, with its faster cache, and max faster RAM. Would it even make a difference if you were gaming under MS Windows? Probably not you'd probably get greater performance by going with a faster CPU and max fast RAM. That is basically the limitation of the Mac Pro 1,1 and 2,1 - PCIE2.0. Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide
