[QUOTE="LordSpunky, post: 1702357, member: 370044"] Hi guys, I'm new here. I've been a Mac user for 10 years and my most current Mac is an late-2009 27" iMac. As a house hold we have some different systems (about 200 - but that is a story for another day), running Mac OS X, Windows XP / Windows 7 and AmigaOS. So basically I've just bought a Mac Pro 1,1 (it hasn't arrived yet) and I want to know what current upgrade paths are? I know the official OS limit is X Lion, but I thought I read there is a work around to get it up to El Capitan. Is that correct. It has 5GB Ram (Not sure in what configuration) again I believe the official max is 16GB - possible 32GB. What about hard drives? Is there an address issue? 4 bays, can I run for example 3TB a bay? It comes with 2x 7300GT's. But I'm thinking of getting a 1GB graphics card (I want to play Xcom2!) I've been thinking of building a server for a while so I may end up giving it ago (hence the hard drive question) currently I just use a WD NAS, but it is nearly maxed out, I want somewhere we can create Time Machine backups, stream films to my TV etc. Any help would be great [/QUOTE]
