Apple today announced upgrades to the Mac Pro and the Xserve, which now feature Intel Penryn processors. Quad-core processors that go up to 3.2 Ghz, powerful video cards, and superfast front-side bus and memory make these especially delicious, however, there are still no Blu-ray drives available. Macrumors has more.

From the Macrumors post, it APPEARS as if the new Mac Pros will only have access to these new video cards because of the PCI-E 2.0 spec, it will be interesting to see if the old Mac Pros will be given more options for video card upgrades besides "more 7300 gt cards" and "$400 ATI card that got bad reviews until model2 was released but is still a questionable upgrade."
