Re: [Avid-L2] Re: z800s (Was WWDC Keynote)

We've got 2 Symphony (v5 and v6) Z800s systems. Whenever they free up I
jump on them right away as they are much more stable and much faster than
our 2010 Dual Six-core Mac Pros. Come to think of it, I've never had a
single problem on the v6 Z800 since it's been upgraded.
