Q: Mac Pro Help and Possibilities

Hello, Mac Users

I had a couple of questions on my Mac pro 10.9.4 2008 3,1 2.8ghz 8-core AMD 1gb graphics card

1) What is the max 3rd party graphics card that can be used on my mac i know when you use one thats not "apple" it will not show the boot screen i don't care about that. So yah but what would be best is my question, oh btw I used CAD programs and Render a lot and i need something that is a little more powerful just don't know what.

2) Cpu Upgrade ? Max upgrade for this model

3) Can Place my mac horizontally on my desk

4) Couple of Issues,

- Sometimes when Click eject the drive won't eject when use the eject button on the keyboard and when i click on the eject button on my task bar it will stay highlighted blue and freeze, then i have to restart my computer.

- When i open disk utility it will spin and not load then freeze and i have to restart for it to work.

this also applies to any HDD monitors software it will freeze the app and i have to force quit and restart my computer.

 

If you can answer any of these computers that will be great, please do not say i need to purchase a new mac or anything like that because it works perfectly other than these issues. thank you

 

Kind Regards, acul33
