    iMac Pro Screen downgrade + TB3 PCI-E/SATA All In One Enclosure + Reliability?

    Hello, I am wondering about the following. 1. Is it possible to "downgrade" the screen on the iMac Pro? I have one with a cracked bezel, but the screen itself is fine. I wouldn't mind downgrading the panel to a lower resolution, if possible. Should this be feasible? 2. Is there any...

    I have a moderately updated 5,1 Mac Pro - currently with a generic USB3 PCI-e card providing four additional fast USB ports. I now need to connect a USB-C device to the machine. I am not sure whether it is better to use a USB-A to USB-C converter plug or to add an additional (or replacement)...

    Will this USB 2.0 pcie card works on late 05 PMG5 Quad?

    Hi so I want more USB port instead the 4 usb port on the late 2005 Power Mac G5 Quad so I find this: Will it works on Leopard? The seller said it works on the 2006 to the 2012 Mac pro's. It USB 2.0 not 3.0.

    Hey everyone, I just picked up a BCM943602CS Wireless card (PCI-e) for my 2009 Mac Pro that I updated to a 5.1.

    Optimum sample streaming config for 5,1 Mac Pro

    I'm getting a 2nd 3.46GHz 12-core 5,1 Mac Pro specifically for audio sample streaming via VEP6. I'll probably go the DVD Bay route for the OS SSD to maximise available PCI bandwidth and I'll probably put a GTX 680 in slot 1. That leaves slots 2,3 & 4 for PCI SSD cards. The aim is to optimise the...
