Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"We need a digital camera that can be switched on and fire off that first shot fast. It's not a commonly tracked statistic on any review site, and nobody seems to have this information for every camera. We were hoping other readers could inform us as to what small digital cameras can fire off their first pics in under a second (ideally under half a second). It needs to be small, but mostly, just really quick in operation. Thanks!"
"So would any Mac compare to this?"
Well let's look at what's on board with a current (aging?) Mac Pro...
Support for Dual Quad-Core Xeons..
4 PCI Express 16x Slots
8 SATA Ports (yes I did count them, 4 slide in racks, 2 spare (for eSATA maybe?) and another 2 in the optical bay)
2 PATA Ports for older optical drives
5 USB Ports (Close Enough!)
2x Firewire 800, 2x Firewire 400... Makes up for the one less USB I'd say :P
FB-DIMMs - 8 slots supporting up to 32GB
And all the usuals like onboard sound, slots for WiFi/Bluetooth radio's, etc
Bear in mind this is from a Mac Pro that is over a year old... they are well overdue a refresh and so expect something a little more cutting edge after Januarys MacWorld :)
Still... This Skulltrail thing is quite interesting, I might consider one if the price is right and I'm after a gaming box :)
It only has 1 (one) 16x slot. Adding insult to injury there are only 3 cards that Apple allows you to use, all of which are almost a year and a half out of date.
Oh, I stand corrected.... I thought it was some sort of dynamically assigned thing (Anyone else?)
The 3 card limit has nothing to do with the Mac Pro. You can put whatever you want in there for gaming and just boot to Windows. :)
