It has incurred the same issue that I have read about countless times and I am trying to fix it and have tried almost everything. It freezes at about 70% install...

    MacPro 3,1 - any rational reason to go beyond Yosemite?

    Has anyone who has taken their 3,1 Pro to El Capitan found it to be worthwhile in the sense of speed, added value of newer apps, etc? Since that will be the top of the ladder for these older macs, I have been holding off, as Yosemite seems to work just fine most of the time. Would like to hear...

Even...
