Upgrade first gen mac pro in 2019..... worth the effort and what parts?
Greetings,
I recently found a first generation Mac Pro sitting outside my complex near the dumpster.... i couldnt believe my eyes! It is such a beautiful machine, however heavily out dated. It turns out the machine had one bad hdd (of two) and would hang at post. Everything else in the machine still works just fine... including the old 7300 gt and 4x 512mb RAM sticks, and the remaining 512gb hdd..
My question is .. is this thing worth upgrading? i know it has MacOS Tiger installed right now ...
So is my only option to acquire a Snow Leopard install disk to upgrade?
What kind of Graphics card and RAM can i put in this machine to get it as up-to-date as possible? im really interest in restoring this machine to a useable state.
I appreciate any help!!
