Sweet. However, that 3dMark score is not as high as I would expect.

True, but keep in mind this is still pre-production everything. Once they get everything tweaked properly, the performance should increase.

Also, if Nvidia ever gets their ass in gear, this rig is quad sli capable. There's only two cards in this test machine.

Of course, this is only a dream machine :(

BTW. The Mac Pro has 4 PCI-e slots. It claims you can add four 7300GTs, but I don't know of any windows drivers that can handle that.
