[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1613511, member: 42497"] You can whack up to 32GB of memory in your Mac Pro, so suggest going to at least 8GB. Not cheap alas and OWC and Crucial are recommended here. The 7300 graphics cards are beasts, about the best would be an ATI Radeon 4870/5770/5870 and yes Lion is as far as you can go without hacking your Mac Pro. Suggest you don't as it has been known to 'brick' them. Apple released this model with 64bit architecture, then choked it with 32bit firmware for some reason. Bluetooth and Airport cards can be the very devil to fit, and I tust you have small hands to get in there. Google Mac Pro 1.1 Airport as some models the antenna cables were wrongly marked. [/QUOTE]
