Introduced in July 2010, The Mac Pro (Mid 2010, Dual CPU) improved processor speed and GPU performance over the previous Mac Pro (Early 2009, Dual CPU). It came in a single, highly-customizable configuration, which included two 4-core 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon 5600-series processors, 6 GB of RAM, a 1 TB 7200 RPM hard drive, and 1 GB of VRAM, for $3499. Built-to-order options included 2x2.66 or 2x2.93 GHz 6-core "Gulftown" processors, up to 64 GB of RAM, up to 8 TB of storage (via four hard drive bays), an additional ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card, an ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics card, a second 18x SuperDrive, and RAID and Fibre Channel PCI Express cards. A server configuration was also made available, with 8 GB of RAM and dual 1 TB 7200 RPM hard disks. All configurations were discontinued in June 2012 with the introduction of the Mac Pro (Mid 2012, Dual CPU).
