[QUOTE="johnodd4, post: 1599810, member: 331386"] [b]ok here you go[/b] i just purchased a mac pro 1.1 myself lets get down to the brass tax on how to pimp this mother out. Item's you will need. 1. 2x 3.00ghz intel xeon processors 2. 4 2tb western digital hard drives 3. 16 gig's or better ram 4. Graphics card (recommend amazon unless you have $1,599 dollars to spend from apple) 5. sixty four on thirty two 6. the maverick installer.app file in your applications folder. Now sounds hard but its really easy. go to youtube type in mac pro 2006 cpu upgrade. watch video now listen up because theres something missing in that video in order to install certain xeon processors you have to reflash your mac pro with the mac pro 2.1 update using a hex editor so please make sure you have the right processors its a real pain in the can to do a firmware hack. once the processors are installed run the machine verify both processors are working in about this mac. once thats done shut down the machine install the new ram and three hard drives leave your original in bay one and carbon copy clone the drive original to a 2 tb make sure its bootable. once thats done replace the hard drive in slot two with slot one and place last 2 tb hard drive inside. congratulations you just upgraded a 1.1 now for a graphics card get off of the 7300 gtx they fry boards and create **** get any card besides those. now install new graphics card once finished download sixty four on thirty two get a legal copy of the maverick installer app and copy it to the applications folder run 64 on 32 from launch pad after installation do not use auto create usb key do it manual. follow the read me you will be fine. install your on mavericks have fun all upgraded anything else we need to cover??
