For computer users who have $4,000 or more to spare, Apple (AAPL) will now sell a Mac Pro version with two Intel (INTC) quad-core chips. It will have about enough computing power to run the Pentagon.

This may be an example of the marketing philosophy that if someone builds it, someone will buy it. But, Apple can afford a little of that now.

Perhaps an iPod that will store one million songs will be next.
