[QUOTE="aslowdodge, post: 1807435, member: 228066"] I have a 2009 4.1 Mac Pro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with the stock NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB card, 32 mb of Ram I am running 10.11.6 I would like to know a few things. I mostly do image editing, no video. Photoshop and Corel Painter Is it worth it for me to flash to 5.1? I also want to watch videos at 4k on a TV (not streaming). Do I need to upgrade the graphics card if so which one? Will I need the 5.1 flash and upgrade OS to accommodate a newer graphics Card? Finally I have considered upgrading processors to 12 core westmere. But i understand Photoshop can't really utilize multicore well so is this a waste? I mostly have no speed issues except for some lag in painter when it comes to the larger brushes. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
