I am looking for feedback of anyone who has run 8 monitors on a MAC PRO? I know apple supports this, I just want to see how it runs, if the OS is slow, due to handling the many monitors or not.

i would like to run VMWARE FUSION 3.0 on the MAC PRO and be able to utilize all the monitors. VMWARE says its supported but they have yet to get back to me about performance, and any tests they have performed on how it runs.....

I need the many monitors as I trade currencies, and I am just tired of using a PC, as I have recently purchased a mac-book pro, which runs vmware and my trading software, but I am limited to only 2 screens. The Imac is only limited to 2 screens also, they works great no issues, no problems, and very fast, actually faster than my PC but probably because of the faster processor...

Any feedback on this would be appreciated.

I run four flat screens on my Mac Pro tradestation and cannot speak to running eight other than you may want to wait for the new Mac Pros to come out within the next few months. Skype me at EricTheOracle if you need to talk shop.
