I'm considering buying a mac pro with the new nehalem processors, but before I do this I have some questions I keep struggling with.
1) Which parts can be upgraded or replaced without voiding your warranty? (I'm thinking here of RAM, disk space and graphics cards)
2) Is it possible to add a second graphics card that is not supported in OSX so I can use this card in boot camp for some windows-specific apps?
3) When doing 2) , how would OSX know which card he should use? So far I haven't come across a preference setting where you can select the graphics card to use (but then again, I never had a mac pro yet either )
4) Is there by default an OSX (Desktop version, not the server) included with your purchase even when not selecting OSX Server ?
5) Suppose that in several years the mac pro's standard mainboard and cpu have been upgraded significantly (in the apple store), is it possible to take mine to such a store for an upgrade kit?
Thanks in advance
