Mac Pro On Its Way

The estimated ship date is October 6, 2006 and the estimated delivery date is October 16, 2006. I wonder if it'll actually take that long. I guess I can put off ordering my 4 GB RAM kit from RAMJet for awhile.

erik,
It might be interesting if you keep track of the fluctuation of the price of RAM between now and then, for a post when you get the gear, to let us know how much you saved by waiting six weeks or so for the RAM.
It seems I've already seen a couple of price drops on RAM for newer macs.; I imagine sometimes, the price gooses itself back up.

The ship date is so far out still due to the airport card. - The Mac Pros are using the new Airport Express Card and they're not shipping yet.

You should check out crucial for the RAM. They have great products and service. I just looked today using your link and the RAM from RAMJET was 1195 in a 4x1 config.
At crucial.com you can get 2x2 for 1100, a much better deal.
I'm not affiliated with crucial in any way except as a customer.
Here is the link:

For various reasons, not the least of which is a small discount I get from a deal I made with RAMJet many moons ago in addition to exceptional service, I prefer to order from RAMJet. 🙂 And RAM prices fluctuate. 10 days ago they were $899.
