| Belated Christmas Gift! Mac Pro 1,1 | |
| Posted by: oneboyarmy on 2017-02-11 15:05:37 As the subject says, I'm now the proud owner of a Mac Pro 1,1. A friend of mine picked one up from a work auction and decided it would be something I would appreciate. 250GB HDD, 13GB RAM and a Radeon HD 5770! I noticed the graphics card when I was loading it into the car - definitely not stock. I was rather excited to bring it home since I wasn't sure what exactly what model I was dealing with. It looks like that graphics card goes for more on eBay than he paid for the entire box, so that's something. Parts for fun upgrades are inexpensive so I may grab a few things and see where we end up. It seems crazy to me that these things have gone as far as El Capitan. Anyway, it was a cool surprise. It'll make a nice system for Logic Studio 8, since that's stuck on Snow Leopard and I've currently got it on a Late '09 Mac mini.  | |

I might have attempt it just for grins. | |
