[QUOTE="cwatson69, post: 1621628, member: 46431"] I have a MacPro1,1 that I purchased around the end of 2007. It still is a great machine but I can't run the latest OS X. It has a 3.0 GHz Dual-Core InteI Xeon processor and an ATI Radeon X1900 XT (512MB VRAM) graphics card. The main thing I use it for is AutoCAD under Parallels. I've got a MacBook Pro 15" running Yosemite that I use for most of my computing needs. But the desktop works best when I'm working with the AutoCAD. I'm retired so it's not like I'm doing this 8 hours a day. But for the volunteer work that I do this thing really comes in handy. My question is - is this system upgradable to get where I can run Yosemite, or should I look for a used one that can be upgraded? And what should I look for or stay away from? [/QUOTE]
