Mac Pro model numbers decoding?

[chuckplumber]

Posted the below on Apple's support page, but no one seems to want to answer.

 

Anyone on here have any idea how to understand the code?

 

Didn't mention that hacking the iPhone was what actually got me started and interested in OSX (runs a subset don't ya know). My real name and all on the .mac login he he

 

Thanks

Hmm, not thrilled to find that I can not mail Apple directly. As a new convert, I find this disconcerting.

Anyhow...

 

I bought a macbook in December and now have decided that I would like a Mac Pro desktop. I live in Moscow, Russia (American from Ca. but sadly must pay the crazy overseas prices)

 

I want to be sure to get the newest model, listed on the Apple site as MA970LL/A (2.8GHz 8-core 2GB 320 HDD, ATI HD2600XT), but in Moscow, the closest thing I can find is MA970ZH/A. Specs seem the same, but there is some business on the apple site about old version vs new version and I want to be sure I get the new one. I know, the faster processor would be better, but the price diff is $2,500 over here and I just can't justify it. The other drives etc I can salvage from an "experiment" into OSX. Apple should thank that community for converting me. First the book, then the pro cause of that group.

 

Can anyone explain the meaning of "LL/A" vs. ZH/A?

 

Thanks in advance

In the event that anyone was wondering, I got this answer:

 

LL/A and ZH/A are software/localization bundles. LL/A is USA/NA localization for software and keyboard layout. I suspect ZH/A is probably Russian Cyrillic software and keybaord layout.
