    El Capitan/Yosemite on 256MB of VRAM

    Hey, So, I'm thinking of investing in a 3, 1 Mac Pro, with a Radeon 2600 XT. It has 256MB of GDDR4 VRAM, and I was wondering if it would run on Yosemite or El Capitan.

    MP 1,1-5,1 Mac Pro EFI Firmware Update

    As of recent I have acquired a Mac Pro 2, 1. It can currently run all the way up to OS X 10.11 El Capitan, which is still a good OS, but isn't supported by Apple. Is there any possible way to get a Firmware Upgrade from 2, 1 to the 3, 1? There is fundamentally no difference between the two, as...

    Mac Pro (Octa-Core 2007) Video Card Compatibility

    Hey, I'm considering investing in a 2007 Octa Core Mac Pro, but it doesn't include a Video Card. I've been thinking about the 6770, as it has 1GB of VRAM, and is still somewhat capable in 2019. The one I have my eye on is an Apple one, and comes with the cables, but I'm not sure if it would run...
