Whatever Mac Pro you get, make sure the video card is at least a Radeon 5770 as newer versions of Pshop and filters are more GPU dependent.
Best Value Mac Pro?

My 2.8 Eight core Mac Pro (Early 2008 model) scored around 11,000 on the geekbench test.

I can use that to compare the various Mac Pro's to each other. I can't afford an i7 iMac and the Mini GPU limits certain functions

Can you upgrade your current MP CPUs? Add SSD?

There are some upgrade reports at xlr8yourmac.

Shoot. My 6 year old upgraded MacPro get s a 9291 geekbench score.

See above-- he's handing down the current mac- upgrade irrelevant.
Mr, I don't see a lot of options for you at that price point. For $1,000 I think you're looking at that 2.8 you mentioned in the OP (will have to get lucky and find as far under $900 as you can) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-MacPro-Qua...e_Desktops&hash=item3f20ec25b6 and it would be sheer lunacy not to grab a 120 GB SSD to use as a boot drive.

does the 667 MHZ RAM speed inhibit performance?
current RAM is, what 1333 MHZ? |
