Is the Mac Pro Worth it?

It certainly sounds like quite a machine from this article in Techsploder.

Mac Pros come with the Intel Xeon 5100 CPUs, or Woodcrest as they're code-named. These dual-core 64-bit beasts run at up to 3GHz, have 4MB of shared L2 cache, and fast 1.33GHz front speed buses - independent ones too, and capable of hitting 21GByte/s in bandwidth.

With two Woodcrests in each, you'll do quad-core damage with the new Mac Pros. Woodcrest should be a good deal faster than Conroe which I have tested (review coming soon) and which is very fast by itself.You can squeeze in some 16GB of 667MHz DDR2 RAM, and the memory bus is 256 bits wide.

The other specs are impressive too, like space for four 500GB SATA drives, four PCI Express slots for expansion, and Nvidia Quadro FX4500 and 7300GT video cards plus, surprisingly enough, an ATI X1900 XT option too, despite AMD now owning the Canadian graphics card maker.

The bottom line for me is how fast it can run Boot Camp and whether I could play my games on the Windows side without any slowdown or annoying problems. This bad boy clocks in a $2500 though. I priced a complete upgrade of my old box and it weighed in at about $1200 with a top end graphics card so I am still on the fence about it.
