[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1733168, member: 56379"] It's a 2008 computer...it's 8 years old...that's a pretty good run for any computer. No one says you have to run Sierra on it...keep running it with El Capitan (no problems). Eventually all Apple computers reach a point when they can't install the latest Mac OS...just the way it is. Do you REALLY think you're the first Mac owner to own an Apple computer that can't install the latest OS?? Your 2008 Mac Pro shipped with Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard)...and could install OS version's all the way up to El Capitan. That's SEVEN different OS versions. That's pretty darn good. Just keep running your Mac Pro with El Capitan. You'll get at least 2-3 more years out of your Mac Pro!:) By that time your 2008 Mac Pro will be 11 years old...which is like 500 years old in "people years"!;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
