I remember having 512 mb of ram and upgrading to 1 gb to improve performance and stuttering in star wars galaxies but it made zero difference lol

i have 64 gigs so i can compile huge projects and run vms

it's only ddr4, because at the time i built this thing, early ddr5 ram cost something like 3x more for a minuscule performance increase

It's an old cheesegrater mac pro. The only issue is getting newer Mac OS to run on it. I'd be madder about the forced obsolescence, but it's actually pretty drat old.

I can't believe all the original fans still work fine.

Yeah, maybe I should keep this going just out of sheer stubbornness. I fully upgraded it when that processor generation (Xeon Westmere?) was retired from datacenters. So it has dual 6-core cpus and 96 gb of ram and heats the condo in the winter (and in the summer).

There was a really long gap when Apple had no computer that I wanted to buy (like the round mac pros). But the new mac studio seems good, and the Apple CPUs seem good.

I’ve got 128 gigs, op. I didn’t buy it so much for the capacity as for the bandwidth. more cores require more ram bandwidth

poo poo, i never thought of that. maybe i should try 4x32 and see if it makes a difference for daw recording/playback performance. i get some occasional lag with more than 8 tracks or so

i've got what was the cheapest 13" 2009 macbook pro and was running big sur on it using those opencore patchers, it would probably run way better on a 2010 mac pro. anyway i just installed linux mint on it and it was surprisingly painless and works pretty well. so that's an option too.

next month will mark 14 years since i bought it, and i still use it as a garage/workshop computer.

Another possibility is to buy a Mac Studio and demote the old Mac Pro to Windows CAD duty. Right now I am running Solidworks on a NUC, ha ha. It runs surprisingly ok.
