Upgrade my 2009 mac Pro

I am running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 version. I'm looking to rank my early 2009 mac pro 2.66 GHz Quad-core 3 X 2 Gb 1066 MHz to a core of 3.33 GHz 12 with a memory of 32 GB at 1333 MHz, I also want to update my video card with output double mini display. Already, I have a 1 TB SSD, is there anything else I can do to improve performance. And how would address this problem.

Than you

If you have that 2 GB or RAM, hold off on adding processors up to that increase you the RAM.

Once you have enough RAM for that Activity Monitor shows green permanently, then look at CPU utilization. If the CPU is not maxed out, you need help with your e/s and faster processor will not make a major improvement except in the compressor.

    I've been thinking out the disc and its replacement with an OWC (mercury Accelsior E2) or a conventional hard drive. Another option could be upgraded to the latest OS X Server 5.0.3.

    The panic occurred because the queue of the AHCI is truncated. Thus all things SATA are immediately suspect.

    These extensions on the "scene of the crime" are used ordinary ACHI drivers for SATA drive.

    In your added kernel extensions, you have an additional driver for RocketRAID. If possible, you should remove only while debugging this problem. It was not explicitly on the "crime scene", but it may have made changes that caused the instability.

    In addition, readers could be involved in this problem, as a failed drive can spray data in the wrong section of memory, rewrite of things.

  • More high graphics card Possible for early 2009 Mac Pro

    As the title suggests, I have an early 2009 Mac Pro with 12 GB of RAM.

    I want to update my graphics card to something better and I have no idea of what I put in the card. Ideally, I would like to put the last possible graphics card that is compatible for this.

    I don't know what I would look for PCI or PCI - e and what diet I would look for that would support such a computer "arcane".

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Best wishes

    Sergio

    the 2009 mac 4.1 pro can be upgraded to a number of current spare cards from Nvidia and AMD, but in many cases the cards require custom flashing of the Distributor and custom drivers. You need to buy a card with a distributor of mac because versions "Windows" of these cards will not work out of the box and OS X will not support without 3rd party drivers. This procedure is not recommended by apple that would rather you buy a new mac pro and again I want to say something for $5K, which offers the latest GPU is already 3 years old.

    research on the Web "Mac Pro 4.1 GPU" for more details.

  • Lack of support for early 2009 Mac Pro

    When Apple says that they won't support not early 2009 Mac Pro for Sierra, they mean that they will not correct a problem if one occurs, or do they mean that just cannot run on the computer at all?  I only ask because my Mac Pro is much more powerful than some new laptops that run the upgrade of the OS.

    I upgraded my MP 2009 Sierra yesterday. First you need to update the firmware to that of a 5.1 MP.

  • 10 Windows installed successfully on early 2009 Mac Pro Quad but no network detected

    I installed Windows company 81 on my Mac Pro without problem, using the WiFi Edimax EW-7711MAC of OWX adapter, which went very well under 8.1.

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 company, works very well, "sfc / scannow" gave rise to no error, but the card WiFi has only a beta driver 10 to win, and I can't detect all of the networks. The pilot has been out since August, seems if it was questions, he would have been fired and Edimax support did not have any major problem with the driver beta for me. I had to run commands for the visible card.

    Not sure if this is a gap in the Bootcamp drivers as I lost it scrolling and keyboard Windows functions or the beta for the WiFi card driver is at fault.

    Device Manager sees the adapter, shows in the adapters in the Panel, just no networks are detected.

    Can what version of the drivers for Bootcamp I use with an Early 2009 Mac Pro Quad to work with Windows 10? I saw some "hacks" on the boards, especially for the Macbook Pro. Curious to know if anyone has found a combination of driver that works with this model or as.

  • 2009 mac Pro 8 core graphics upgrade advice

    Hi everyone, my Mac Pro crashed recently and wiped out the SSD drive and 8800gt graphic card in the process. I have since replaced the SSD but you want to replace the graphics card also. Can anyone recommend some links to maps of upgrade appropriate that work with this machine you?

    Take a look at macvidcards, they have a wide variety of graphics cards from amd and nvidia, from low cost to high power.

    In general, every current video card should work in your mac, but the 'pure windows versions' do not show an image until osx is fully charged and drivers are loaded.

    Versions of macvidcard are flashed so can show splash screens. Not normally necessary, but when that mind in the process of starting or when you need bootcamp boot selection screen, you will see the value of the additional monetary you spent for the funniest versions.

    I got my 980ti to them.

    Only upgrades would be to replace the D300 with the D500 or of the D700. You can get them on eBay or elsewhere. Apple does not sell to them.

  • 2009 mac Pro turns off graphics load.

    Hi all

    My Mac Pro is a 2009 with updated firmware version to support 6-core processors clocked at 2.66 ghz. I have improved graphics, Sapphire HD 7950 / 3 gb (UEFI flashed).

    • While I use the computer for graphics intense situations (IE 3d rendering, games), the computer turns off. In order to get back to the computer, the power cord must be disconnected from the PSU. The computer then turns back on without any problem.
    • The question I have is if there is a power supply problem or not?  I put the GPU in a Windows machine and the graphics card run any graphic intense program with excellence.
    • I have reset the SMC, PRAM and looked at the newspapers, but I can't find a solution. I have currently the power supply of the machine, removed inspect the Board and clean the dust off the camera.

    Please ask for more information, you may know.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Your symptom has been reported by users who have cheated on the power cords to the. Labour intensive overdraws the power available to the map, and overlap the food makes the unstable power and stops at the Mac.

    If your card has one or two 8-pin connectors, you may need more power than can be provided through two cords to the 6-pin.

  • Problems after installing Photoshop CS5 Extended upgrade on my Mac Pro

    Hi all, I hope you can advise me.  I received my order for CS5 Extended Adobe UK Upgrade this morning and quickly began to install on my Mac Pro (I have a full version of CS3 on my Mac with a CS4 update give me through my Ati Radeon HD4870 graphics card Open GL features).  Installation seems fine and at the end I click done and opened the CS5 to set preferences. That's where I found things were not as they seem.  The first thing that I became aware of was that my graphics card was not recognized and open GL and advanced settings are grayed out. Then, I tried to RAM the most recommended by CS5 to see when I clicked on OK and closes unexpectedly CS5 a dialog box appears saying that the program has been locked or I had not gotten access privileges to change the preferences. I checked the "Get Info" box and found the program was not locked and the permissions are set to read and write to the system and administrator and read-only for everyone. Sharing & permissions were greyed out both as it was in locked, so even if I wanted to I could not change these settings.

    The next thing I found was that I couldn't change the workspace it is default "Essentials" and to top it off several times while trying these changes and access different parts of CS5 leaves unexpectedly ask me first send a report to Apple and Adobe tax then.  I tried to get help from the media, but it was 5 hours ago and they always called back as the automated message said they would be.  Sorry this is so long, but I think you need to know all this to help you if you can.
