Mac Pro 8 core Nehalem

hi guys... my first post here.. Reaper is soo amazing, it has pretty much reduce my protools set up to exporting of tracks lol : ) I have been working on my mac book pro 2.8Ghz Core2Duo with 4G ram.. I do mainly mixes, and some drum triggering and also use Nebula quite a lot... Yeah the MBP just no doing too well... I am about to pull a trigger on a Mac Pro 2.26 8Core Nehalem... any last words before I make this move? Anything I should watch out? pit falls?? I assume this will be a Huge improvement on my Macbook pro for CPU raw power to run plugs?? I work mainly on 48K 24Bit mixes... there are few rare 96K mixes depending on client requests. Just a man going to spend a huge chunk of cash and need some comforting and confirmation LOL Thanks all!!!!

Perhaps I should also ask.... does and can Reaper take advantage of 8 cores?? or does it max out at 4???? Thanks everyone.. I am sure this has been discuss everywhere... but I couldnt find any direct answers to my question.. post link to discussions if there are any good ones... Thanks

reaper scales beautifully and will make the most of your octopus. welcome to the forums .t

Tallisman Thanks so much for your confirmation!!!!! I love Reaper!!

I would only use 64bit if you have more than 16GB of RAM with that 8core machine...and make sure your chair has a 5 point harness so you aren't thrown from the ride!

LOL thanks for the tip.... now time to get some ram..... I am so excited... LOL
