Hi everyone ! I recently upgraded one of my MacPro 2008 with 64GB ram :) I'm using some 3D softwares which eat literally all of my ram! I tried to reboot the Mac on windows 7 64-bits but it wasn't able to give a sign of life whilst on Mac OS X no problem but the software is faster on the...

Hi! I read about the NVMe cards that aren't bootable because the EFI rom (off course) doesn't list them at the boot manager. The first thing i learned when fiddling around with a hackintosh (back in '05 with deadmoo image) was the "rd=" option. So since i already successfully booted OSX from an...

Hey guys, I just sold my Mac Pro Late 2013 (3Ghz 8-Core/64GB/512GB SSD/Dual D700) and I’m looking to replace it with a classic Mac Pro tower so I can upgrade and change out stuff as needed. I’d like to get your opinions/advice on purchasing and upgrading a classic Mac Pro 2009-2012 era. I am...

I am using MacPro3,1 (early 2008) with Processor "Intel® Xeon(R) CPU X5482 @ 3.20GHz × 8 " and Graphics "GeForce 8800 GT/PCIe/SSE2". I just want to upgrade my graphics card to any CUDA-capable NVIDIA GeForce like one GeForce GTX 970. Will it works on my machine? I am using ubuntu. Please let me...

I've got a MacPro4,1, and in the past month or so the Bluetooth seems to be having issues. They started with what I can only describe as 'graininess' when moving the mouse. Like it's on cobblestones or something. Sometimes it slightly jerks across the screen, and lags a little. I've turned the...

Hello, sorry for making another thread on this, but I thought it would be a nice place to summarize the state of the 980 Ti for the Mac Pro. I'm soon going to buy the 980 Ti for my Mac Pro 4,1 -> 5,1 hack. I would like to know which cards is recommended in different powering situations. I'm...

Can I retrofit a PATA floppy drive to a MacPro 1,1? I have a working boot camp installation of XP and need to run some software with low level access to an internal floppy drive. Would it be technically possible to install a floppy drive in the second optical bay? Would I need drivers for the...

There is no question about the fact that 4- and 8-core classic MacPros should have a configuration with just 3 of4 RAM slots used ... So "3of4-slots-configuration is prferable, BUT: I remember the argument why a 6-core or a 12-core MP would profit from 4of4-configuration: The Xeons ar able...

Hi guys/girls Sorry if this has already been answered but I am literally at the end of my tether trying to resolve this issue I have with my Mac Pro. I just recently purchased a nice 1.1 for only £120 which I thought was a pretty good deal it came with snow leopard and the stock 7300 but...

I wonder how feasible/good could be to buy a logic board and upgrade the rest of the components (CPU, memory, SSD, maybe graphic card?) to buy a hackintosh. I *imagine* this could be more stable than the regular route, anyone have experience with this? Could be the best base logic board?

I have a 2012 Apple Mac Pro "Quad Core" 3.2 computer with 12 GB of RAM. I'm reluctant to give the thing up because I love have 4 SATA bays that I can use for swapping drives easily. Running under the latest version of Yosemite, the computer can get VERY slow, particularly when a background task...

hey guys I did some searching and basically found too much info, I just want to know the basics on what I need to do. We have had this Pro for a while now, and figured it's about time she got some love. It has 2, 2.66 4 core chips I believe, and I want to say 16gb of ram. It's a powerhouse...

Hello, I have a 2008 Mac Pro 3.1 2 x 2.8 Quad Core running OSX 10.8.5 with 8 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM. Recently my system has been a little sluggish and to make a long story short, I realized that the system profiler was showing only 4GB of RAM instead of the 8GB of RAM that came with the...

Just installed an extra 16GB of RAM (with existing 6GB) in my Pro 3,1 (Early 2008) and fan now sounds like it is trying to take off! Very noisy when doing some things (Photos, PS) and slightly noisier than before when not doing anything. All RAM is Type: DDR2 FB-DIMM Speed: 800 MHz. Top...

Need your guys opinion on something I saw this ad on craigslist in San Diego and I wonder if it's a good deal there asking $7500 for a 2013 mac pro 12-core with AppleCare , wireless keyboard and mouse plus a 27-inch Apple display. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/sys/5360691211.html
