    MP 6,1 New 2013 Mac Pro 6,1 (trash can)

    Hey all, Just landed one of those old trash can macs for a decent price. 12-core, D700s, 1TB, 128GB. I'm looking to turn it into a stable, vintage graphics station running Adobe CS6, or maybe 5.5, stuff. Toward that end, I'm considering running OS 10.11 El Capitan, as it's fully compliant with...

    I got my hands on one of the black “trash can” macs from around 2013 (MacPro 6.1). It is a base model. I was wondering if it is even worth upgrading the processor, drive and/or memory in 2022 as MacOS Ventura just dropped support for this model. I know it is powerful enough to last for another...
