    3 days ago I installed Windows 10 on my Mac Pro 1,1 without the use of bootcamp. Everything works except every half hour to 2 hours the computer completely locks up and freezes and I have to hold the power button to shut it down. This usually happens under heavy load. On El Capitan it never...

    Winebottler Windows 10

    So I recently found out about Winebottler and thought I'd try using it, though soon realised that there was no windows 10 option to convert .exe into .app. I've had a quick Google and noticed that everybody else seems to have it. Does anyone know of a way to get this? Thanks :)

    Hi there! It turns out keeping a 2009 Mac Pro running can be a lot of busy work (as 25 pages of people who can't read instructions will attest)- especially since I have a Geforce 1080 and modern NVIDIA cards are no-go in Mojave until further notice. So I figured it'd be a good time to get the...
