![]() ![]() Add to this a monitor and keyboard and time. I have two MacPro1,1 machines now with the last one costing me less than NZD$200 plus the RAM plus the appropriate video card (you need upgraded video card to run these later operating system). This is a fun journey for those that enjoy it. – this one requires a login – I still haven’t got mine! Difficult to find the software, and difficult to perform – for the SMC upgrade I had to perform this off my 10.9 OS installation. These upgrades were done when I had the “Bad RAM” … that probably wasn’t – just not enough.Īnd doing this upgrades is tricky. In addition I have upgraded the SMC – this is probably not essential. I have also performed a firmware upgrade – the Machine is now a MacPro2,1 – this is probably only essential if you intend to replace the CPU’s.
