I'm determined to make the best of this Mac Pro that I can (within limits). For example, ram. I just got in an 8gb set from an amazon vendor. After inserting the two sticks onto the ram boards it only shows 4gb, the size of 1 stick. I used the apple manual to add memory. One stick to each ram board and in the same position, furthest in socket.
Next, the system info reports the model as 1,1. It's a 3,1 but it won't upgrade past snow leopard. How can I get it to El Capitan or maybe High Sierra ?
Is Amazon's drive tray converter to 2.5" the best ? I already have a 250gb SSD that I've love to put in. I'd like to use other drives I have as well, but even with the snow leopard formatted drive out, it won't boot into high sierra.
If answers to these questions are available elsewhere, please let me know!
