    Macbook, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac mini, Mac Pro, Mac?

    A common idea I've noticed(less common now that the new Mac Pro is out) is that Apple has abandoned the Mac. I've always disagreed with that idea. As you can see from the thread title, the Mac lineup is full. Almost. Since the Mac Pro came out, I've kept my mouth shut and just observed the...

    Buying a flashed GPU or a discrete stock GPU to flank my 5770 to upgrade my cMP5.1?

    Ok, it's 2019 and I still rock my MP5.1 with its stock ATI 5770 and its 4-cores 3.2GHz. I have not any impelling reason to upgrade to 10.14, but I noticed that when I play via bootcamp my PC games (mostly indies and strategy games, I have an Xbox for the big titles) the performance of my 5770...
