What's the BIG difference between a iMac and a Mac Pro?

I've see answers about how a Mac pro is for proffesional editing, but is within anything else I should know?

What's the BIG difference between a iMac and a Mac Pro?

Contrary the previous answerer's post, the current iMac does not use a PowerPC processor. It uses an Intel processor, as well.



The BIG differences are cost, expandability, & speed.



The Mac Pro costs profoundly more, even without the display that comes built into the iMac.

The MacPro have slots waiting, while other than RAM & easier said than done drive expansion, within restrictions, the iMac has really little expandability.

The MacPro can be bought with Two 3.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors, while the iMac can be bought near up to a Single 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.



Hope this helps.

An iMac is base on the PowerPC procssor. The Mac Pro is based on the Intel Xeon Duo Core processor. And in attendance are major hardware differences also. You can run Windows XP on a Mac Pro, but not on an iMac.
