    24" Early 2008 iMac Upgrades

    Hi there. I was hoping to get some recommendations on which parts to buy in order to upgrade my iMac. I understand that I should probably sell and replace my current desktop but I would like to humor the idea of upgrading it as much as I can within a fair budget of course. Ultimately, I would...

When I tried to upgrade to El-Capitan, the system could not boot during the installation process, and I was greeted with an icon of...

    Painfully slow late 2011 Macbook Pro - upgrade or move on?

    My late 2011 13" Macbook Pro takes 5 minutes to open a browser. It's the lower spec with 4GB / i5. I'm concerned that dropping 50% of the price of a new AIR to upgrade to usable isn't worth it. I'd be looking for this upgrade to give me another 4 years of 'light' use but importantly a computer...

    MacPro to Macbook Pro "Upgrade?"

    I'm considering moving from my 2009 4,1 MacPro, which is loaded up with upgrades to a 2016 MacBook Pro as there are suddenly some great deals out there. I work mostly in Photoshop and Illustrator these days, with the occasional bit of not too complicated After Effects work. I need a bit more...

    advice on upgrading or replacing parents' mac mini

    My dad recently asked me to look at his mac mini because he was getting warnings that his web browser is no longer supported by his online banking site. They are using a 2010 mac mini that we got for them almost 6 years ago running 10.6.8 (I think). I can upgrade his OS to the latest and then...

    Just upgraded Mac Pro 1,1 (2,1) to Radeon 7950

GPU was an XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB, no boot screen, now a Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB...

    Thoughts on iMac 2009 in 2017

    I found an offer for a 2009 iMac, 24'', 2.4 Ghz, 320 GB, mouse and keyboard included for £200 (~$263). Seller claims it is in perfect condition. Is it worth it buying it in late 2017? I need it mainly as a screen extension of my MacBook 12'' early 2016. If I use it as a desktop, I will be...

    Hello! Needing some guidance on which upgrade to prioritize due to budget constraints. I have a mid-2012 13" MacBook Pro (non-retina, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD) which has become quite slow now - slow to open apps, search in finder/spotlight, open a new browser tab, etc. At first I was set on upgrading...

    I'm a happy owner of a Mid-2010, white unibody MB (aka: MC516LL/A - MacBook7,1) I know that to some this is probably a dinosaur... but it does what I need it to do, and as a [subjective] bonus, I just like how it looks. Am I the only one who would like Apple to make another white computer...

    Is it possible to put a Radeon 9800 Pro from a PowerMac G5 into a PowerMac G4?

    Hi everyone. I'm looking to upgrade either a Digital Audio, Quicksilver, or Mirrored Drive Door PowerMac G4. I've got everything decided except the video card. I've stumbled upon a really good deal on a Radeon 9800 Pro. Given that it has an ADC port I'm assuming that it's out of a PowerMac G5...
