[Crowjames931]

Hi all, wonder if someone can help me recently got hold of a 2006-2007 MaC Pro 1,1 Quad Core 2.66 A1186 and I’m very interested in doing a bulid project on it has I would like to use it for my photography and video editing (still at amateur level hence why I don’t want to go out and spend to much on a new iMac) been told these Machines are pretty good with regards to upgrades so was wondering what kind of graphics card, processor and ram I can put in this to be able to do such a build?
Any help would be highly appreciated

the latest OS you can run on this machine is El Capitan 10.11 with some hacks.

2006/2007 Mac Pro (1,1/2,1) and OS X El Capitan

Get an Apple HD5770 (with DVI and 2 Mini Display Ports) and the PCIe Power Cable.

Without Hacks 10.7.5 is the latest, what is pretty ancient.

Or Windows10
Or some kind of Linux

I wouldnt spend too much money on this machine if it's aint for fun.

But, it is so much fun to keep pouring money into it, as long as it's making you happy.

Yes ~
Some people find frustration to be fun
But this can fall into a co-dependency relationship that is abusive
Get a new Mac Pro
