Supercharge your Mac Pro!!

There's life in the old girl yet
If you were a little disappointed with the announcement of the new Mac Pro at the WWDC in June and you would still like to carry on working with your Mac Pro I have some great news for you.

My friends at Jigsaw24 in the UK have put together some amazing upgrade packages for existing Mac Pro towers which will ensure that you are getting the best possible performance from your system.

These packages can be installed in any recent Mac Pro and will dramatically improve the performance of 3D packages, Adobe Creative Suite, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro and Smoke 2013.

The packages are priced as follows:

Mac Pro Booster packages

Adobe and Maya Base option
240gb SSD with 2.5" to 3.5" sled
Nvidia Quadro 4000
£659 ex VAT 
RAM is optional dependent on system 

Smoke Booster
240GB SSD with 2.5" to 3.5" sled
Nvidia GTX680 for Mac
FusionIO IOFX 420GB Memory tier for GPU http://www.fusionio.com/products/iofx/
£1399 ex VAT
RAM is optional dependant on system.

DaVinci Resolve V10 Ultimate
240GB SSD with 2.5" to 3.5" sled
FusionIO IOFX 420GB Memory tier for GPU http://www.fusionio.com/products/iofx/
2 x Nvidia Geforce Titan
£4799 ex VAT or £5099 ex VAT with a Blackmagic Decklink 4k card
RAM is optional dependant on system.

They can also offer 32GB of Mac compatible RAM for £250 ex VAT (4 x 8GB Modules)

If you have a Mac Pro with a GT120 card they can offer configurations with the Nvidia Titan as the main GPU.

If you compare these prices with other suppliers you will see that these are incredibly good deals. The Smoke booster package is the same price as the IOFX on it's own!
