Mac Pro 2006 Upgrade

It's time to grab some snacks and your favourite beverage to enjoy this feature length IMNC ramble fest! Today, we upgrade a 2006 1,1 Mac Pro with some lovely parts. This Mac Pro has been with me for a good few years, so it's definitely time to show it some love. The 1,1 is a legendary machine, the first Intel pro desktop from Apple, a machine that blew everyone away at the time.

I'm old, the flashbacks to 2012 feel like yesterday when I first discovered this channel. Great video

[UnkyjoesPlayhouse]

I have that model here, on the floor under my workdesk, I upgraded the heck out of it, and never use it, but I always wanted one when they came out, now I could afford one 17yrs later :) Cheers, great to see another video from you :)

This video takes me way back- when I was kid 10 years ago I saved up and got a 2008 Mac Pro (3, 1) off eBay because of your videos, and did the HD 5770 upgrade; but since it was a PC card, there was no boot screen same as your old GT 640. I remember the Mac version cards were sooo much more expensive back then, and I always wished for one. Used that machine up into college and way after support was dropped. Still the best purchase of my teenage self—those were the days! Thanks for sharing Tom, I'm still watching your videos 10 years later, cheers from America-

I own a 2006 also with Lion and I still use it regularly. It’s absolutely fantastic (not connected to the internet)

Oh how i miss those glory Apple Days 2000 - 2012

[vbstein]

Omg I remember 2012, wow time doesnt stop.

[Guanaalex]

I can’t believe how absolutely Golden those times look like from today’s perspective. Time may be brutal, but the One thing that’s great about it, - the past always looks rosy from the future. Or as true Treky, I’d say: Time is the Fire in which we burn. Super great blast from the past Tom.

i remember having one of these, the 2'1 firmware override, cpu upgrade and ram max out, made it a (to this very day) a very capable machine

[laurencejohnson]

I like the design of those computers and I particularly like the 5, 1 which has that removable tray that holds both processors.

When I did the ram swap I moved the big heat spreaders across to the new sticks, they fit perfectly and apparently help it to run a bit cooler, the smaller style spreaders were designed for servers where much higher rpm fans were in use

The 2008 Ram upgrade video was one of the first I watched, I was 15. Been a fan ever since

[averyplays]

Takes me back to the 2008 Mac Pro days! Good Stuff Tom!

[itsanarse]

Hard drive rant is spot on, I usually leave my machines with HDDs if they came with them. It's part of the experience.

[dkhl]

Pensar que hace casi unos años quería adquirir una power G5 o una g4 y encontré tus videos volver a ver algo relacionado a las Mac muy buen video

[Xero]

Interesting, I got a used 1, 1 with the base GPU in 2023 - still works. The Xeons are the middle 2, 66GHz ones though.

[Eclipse]

Still got a 5, 1 running 10.6.8 beautifully!

[ConstantijnKool]

this video brings me back to the time when you bought the 2008 mac pro. I remember me watching it on my white 2006 macbook thinking of when i will be ever to buy such a machine and that it must be so fast. what a throwback awesome video!

[littleshubunkin]

I bought a 5, 1 off EBay and it came with 128GB of ram. Awesome.

[slundal]

2 hours and 45 minutes! :D Love it! Never stop with the long "ranty" videos.
