Mac Pro: dual vs quad and other ?

Looking to upgrade my computer for my small business to a more robust machine. I run 3 screens at all times and generally keep 4-8 tabs open on my web browser for various sites that I input order info into. One of the tabs has Google Voice open for phone calls. I have a huge multi-thousand line Excel Spreadsheet open at all times for accessing client information. Also I keep Mail, Skype and Reminders open all the time. I copy and paste items all day long from one application to the other. Everything is backed up to the cloud and I run a 3TB external drive just in case for Time Machine.
I'm seeing the color wheel of death on my current machine that I've decided my wife needs since her's is even worse.
I'd like to go with a Mac Pro for my business (not the new one coming in Dec. 2013) but a slightly older new/used version tower.
I'd like 16GB RAM minimum.
My issue is I don't understand the difference Graphics Cards or the difference in the processor speeds and Dual vs Quad vs 6 and 8 Core.
Any assistance in guiding me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

The silver 65lb tower is no longer for sale new or refurbished from Apple.
With the 2103 Mac Pro about to be released, you should not spend money on a Mac Pro older than a 2009 model. If you need to add RAM to these models, they do not require pairs. Do not buy modules (for these models) smaller than 8GB per module. [Two 4GB costs more.]
For what you are doing, you need big RAM far more than you need really big compute power. The dual socket Mac Pros (for 8-core and 12-core models) cost more than twice as much, and are overkill for your use. [Natural use of the 8core or 12-core is for Ray Tracing or Scene Rendering.]
The cards that came  with those models include the Apple-firmware 4870 (supports two displays), the 5770 or the 5870 (each supports three displays with the right adapters). Any of those will be fine. The NVIDIA GT120 (supports two displays) was also an option, but is not quite as powerful a card, but should work fine. If you need to run two GT120 cards, you need to run 10.8.5 or Mavericks.

  • Which Mac Pro config for PShop (and others)

    Which processor config is best for Pshop multitaskers? Looking to choose a (new) Mac Pro. I am primarily a photo retoucher & photographer (in that order) But I also push my system doing 3D renderings, and often streaming Pandora while I work. Another forum offered suggestions to get the Quad core -and choose the 3.33Ghz 6 core "Westmere" (+ $1200) --as opposed to my first choice, which was the 8 Core w/two 2.4 Ghz "Westmere" processors. My goal is to keep the total cost under $4K -including additional RAM + ATI Radeon HD 5870. I chose the 8 core unit for the added RAM capability, and I thought that 8 cores would help when running multiple apps. But other posters had opined that since most apps -including Pshop (CS5) DON'T take advantage of multiprocessing the faster single processor w/6 cores would take the lead. I am a pro retoucher, and am often working multiple VERY large layered files. I do NOT do animation or video. I am also thinking of waiting for the next Mac Pro update -which past history suggests a possible late spring (2011) rollout. ( I wouldn't want a laptop as I work exclusively at my own studio, and want as much horsepower + longevity as I can afford)
    Opinions appreciated -esp. real world tests using CURRENT Mac Pros. Thanks!

    Yes, for best memory bandwidth performance, use 8 DIMMs, and it doesn't matter much what your mix and match is (other than certified of course for Mac Pro).

    No need to every discard the Apple memory until you get the urge to go to more than 8GB. Buying a full set of same and same time insures that they are less likely to deviate or have enough difference to cause trouble (even Crucial batches vary a bit).
    I prefer TechWorks as a cut above, quality is good as it gets, comparable to Micron.

    The older Mac Pro was more trouble to get an ideal setup.

  • Mac Pro - Oct Core? and other questions......

    Hi all, Im new to these forums - I am one half of a UK production duo named big mister music.
    We are about to bite the bullet and make a new mac pro purchase and at the same time go for an apogee ensemble. My question is two fold really, is the oct core worth paying extra for? In real world terms.... and the ensemble? Anyone used one? Worth the cash?
    Brilliant! thanks for your replies in advance and I hope to make a positive impact on these boards in the future!

    Now after going to the leading Mastering house in the U.K.
    they Master all the Big Names, i don't even want to say,
    however here goes,
    they gave me two of the Main dealers in the U.K. that supply not most but All the store's in the U.K. with Apogee and the other Apogee & RME.
    So after calling Apogee in the U.K. main supplier before on price's of Ensemble and Rosetta 800, without a doubt 800 came out on top,
    Ensemble not even close in their line of Converters,
    I try to ask for Discount has a Student, as i though it was a Apple Product,
    they weren't having it,
    has it was said its not a Apple product, but made for Apple Logic,
    and integrate well with Logic,
    therefore their goes my discount out the window!
    Now after i got the numbers for the main dealers, before i ask for discount
    they gave me Discount when they say who gave the number,
    meaning its not who you know but who knows you.
    Ensemble was a few £ short of 1400.00 new price £1050.00
    Rosetta price drop by about £200 though.
    Then again there was a Blind test of Apogee Rosetta 800 v RME Fireface800,
    with Apogee customers, and guess what?
    About 90% of them pick RME 800,
    do a google search and you'll find it,
    In saying this Fireface 800 and Top-line Apogee products is Marginally different,
    So it all boils down to the type of sound you want,
    One ads Color, while the other is transparent,
    Apogee Ads RME Transparent

  • Mac Pro Dual Quad Core won't boot OS/X, but plays fine with Linux/Windows

    I've got a Mac Pro Dual Quad Core won't boot OS/X, but plays fine with Linux/Windows. I've tried all of the following initial tests as suggested on forums:
    -Ram swaps
    -Alternating video card in PCIe slots
    -Trying alternate video card
    -resetting pram and smc
    -Multiple tests with memtest86+ over 26hrs and no failed ram
    -Multiple tests (8-12 cycles) with apple HW diagnostics and no problems
    -Firmware is approved firmware for early 2008 model...no new updates.
    Gentoo livecd works fine and I even installed to hard drive and it boots fine with it. In addition to above tests I also ran a linux stress test putting all 8 cores at a load of 22 for 2.5hrs with no problems.
    Memtest86+ for 24hrs+ yields no problems.
    Where problems occur:
    Booting off hard drive, DVD or firewire yields an immediate curtain of death and booting off a new snow leopard DVD dies about 25% into the install.
    Looking at error log and a quick dmesg shows "Package 0 didn't get an HPET" and complains about AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext. Google turns up illegal uses of this, so doesn't apply to my use case.
    I'm a bit stumped since all was working well until one day it was non-stop curtains of death and can't get them to go away.
    A logic board replacement at $1100 is not a feasible option for something that works on linux and windows, but not OS/X, is a bit disappointing and somewhat surprising.
    Thanks for your help and advice.
    Regards,
    Marcos

    Someone here once thought they knew EFI and Open Firmware a little, and used some commands from OF library that an Intel EFI Apple system didn't like. New logicboard.
    Of course to run or boot OS X and see video you need EFI based card. The presence of some PC cards can block OS X from booting.
    The fact you get part way through SL DVD, pull all the drives, put in a new drive and format it from SL DVD.
    Most of the things you tried are what are more common with PC hardware. Including where people have tried and failed to install OS X on unsupported hardware.
    I suppose it is possible something tried and failed to modify the Mac's firmware.
    If you have Windows running, and you have WD drives, WD just posted new Lifeguard utility which is what I use to do a good job of stripping a drive down and recertify it for reuse, works wonders. Maybe same for other makes with vendor utility.

  • Mac Pro 2.66 Quad-Core 1GBRAM, how much more RAM and HOW?

    I just got my Mac Pro 2.66 Quad-Core, and I had a budget so I left the RAM down @ only 1GB because I knew I could upgrade it later. Well later is here & I want to put more in it, but I hear it is a little more complicated than the sensless shoving of big ram chips into empty slots...
    I am a heavy user of Logic 7, soon to be of Logic Studio, and hopefully I will be using AutoCAD at home soon (for school). How much RAM would be optimal for me to eventually have? Right now I think I can afford to purchase 2GB more, but I dont know how exactly to put it into my machine. Right now it has a 512MB per xeon.
    Can anyone help me out?

    I just pulled out 1GB (2 x 512MB) simms in replaced them with 4GB (2 x 2GB) simms.
    I had added more memory as 2 GB (1x2GB) and ran out of space. Now I have a total of 11GB RAM:
    1GB = 2 x 512MB
    2GB = 2 x 1GB
    8GB = 4 x 2GB
    Leaving me with 2x512MB simms sitting in the box on the self. Sure wish I knew someone local I could give these things to for a reasonable price. Anyway, I wouldn't go any higher than 2GB simms (4GB) as that seems to currently have the best price/space ratio. Crucial is good enough and order it from NewEgg.com or MacConnection.com and you'll get a good price (I got mine at MacConnection.com).

  • I have a Mac Pro 4,1 quad core intel Xeon running mac OSX 10.6.8 and I have just moved studios and now need to use the Internet wirelessly but there's no airport facilities on this model can anyone tell me what model of airport card I would need for this

    Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

  • The AVI Radeon X1900 XT video card in my Mac Pro Dual-Core went bad and I need to replace it. I found one that is $250 but I don't think that I need the gaming-type processor.  I am using a 23" Apple Display. Are there lower cost options? -C

    The Radeon X1900 XT video card went bad in my Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon. (I tried it with a good one at the office). I found one online that was $250. I don't need the gaming capacity of this card and was wondering if there were less expensive video cards that I could use in this machine. I run Adobe Creative Suites for graphics design and have a 23" Apply display. Thank you for any help that you can provide. -PretzelMcK

    Then pick up the ATI 5770 AND upgrade to 10.6.8.
    Same price for a good card that will work and helps to have 1GB VRAM.
    There aren't any other real choices let alone less expensive.
    Even the ebay links I had and not a lot of choices.

  • HT1338 I have a Mac Pro Dual Core, 3 Ghz, that I purchased in the Spring of 2007.  What is the latest OS that i can upgrade to?  And is that OS compatible with Logic 10?

    I have a Mac Pro Dual Core, 3 Ghz, that I purchased in the Spring of 2007.  What is the latest OS that i can upgrade to?  And is that OS compatible with Logic 10?

    Logic Pro 10 requires OSX 10.8.4, which is not officially supported on your Mac Pro (must be Early 2008).
    There are, however, unofficial workarounds to install 10.8 on those older models that you can search for on Google.

  • How can I install Windows7 -64BIT on a 1st Generation Mac Pro 2.66GHZ Quad?

    Hi,
    I posted this in Bootcamp but haven't received any replies so I am reposting it here where perhaps it really belongs.Is it possible to install Windows 7 64 bit on a 1st Generation Mac Pro 2.66Ghz?
    Apple suggests that it's not possible and yet I've seen several Googled posts where the users have successfully installed 64 bit on a 1st Generation Mac Pro. The problem is that they've done this creating a bootable iso disk(whatever that is) using a Windows computer with imgburn and windows commands. I'm pretty good at following instructions but I haven't seen any instructions on how to install Windows 7 on this machine using a Mac based approach.
    I'm using BootCamp and was able to partition the drive into NFTS and "proceed" with installation; however all the installations failed during setup and Windows would not boot; disk repair was not possible. Besides, from what I've gathered, 32 bit is problematic around memory issues.
    When I try installing 64 bits, I never get past the "select cd rom 1 or 2" message where the keyboard won't work. It is at this point where others say they have successfully proceeded with moving forward by creating a bootable iso disk.
    Problem is it's all Windows based with exe files and presupposes I already have Windows running.
    I'm not sure I really understand how to create an iso disk, but I do have ROXIO TOAST 10 which is capable of burning "ISO" disks.Does anyone know how to do this and/or can you point me to a place where there are instructions on how to proceed?? While I realize Apple says that some mid 2006 mac pros aren't supported, there are multiple posts of windows 7 users successfully installing Windows 7 on a 1st Generation Mac Pro.
    Thanks.
    Mac Pro 2.66GHZ Quad Core

    I have a March 2009 Mac Pro dual quad core running Win7 Pro 64 bit. I have Windows installed on a dedicated internal hard drive. There are no partitions, the entire drive is for Windows use.
    Here's how I installed it, I did not start with BootCamp. Make sure the drive you're going to use for Windows doesn't have any important files on it because it will be formatted.
    1. Update Snow Leopard
    2. Place the Windows cd in the Super Drive
    3. Shut down the computer
    4. Remove all the hard drives except the one you want Windows installed on. Keep track of the order they are in and at the end replace them in the same order.
    5. Boot the computer holding down the Option key
    6. Boot to the Windows cd
    7. Install Windows and format the drive to NTFS
    8. When Windows needs to restart during installation you'll need to hold the Option key and boot to Windows, not the Windows cd.
    9. After Windows installs, place your Snow Leopard disc in the Super Drive
    10. The Drivers for Windows will be installed along with a Windows version of BootCamp.
    11. Go to Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update
    12. Update again until it's done.
    13. You'll also find a BootCamp under Control Panel, check it out.
    14. Shut down the computer and replace the hard drives in their original order
    14. Now if you turn on the computer it will boot to Snow Leopard, but if you hold the Option key during boot you can select Windows or Mac.

  • Mac Pro suddenly shuts down and starts up again automatically

    Hello Friends!
    Got a really strange problem here, with my Mac Pro.
    Specs:
    2010 Mac Pro 2.GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    RAM: 16GB Kingston RAM
    2x1000GB HDs (one from apple, and another Western Digital)
    My Mac Pro suddenly shuts down, and starts up again automatically. No warning, no freezing - just a shut down noise and black screen. After 3-4 seconds, it starts up again.
    Can someone help me with that?
    All the best,
    Lukas

  • Mac Pro freezes while asleep and fans go to high

    I'm not sure if this is a problem specific to my Mac Pro Dual Quad Core MacPro3,1, but it has carried across an update to 10.6.5 and through a reinstall of Snow Leopard. Also, I don't have it on my MacBook Pro. So, I'm posting it in the Mac Pro forum.
    Periodically (but now more frequently), when I go to my Mac Pro in the morning, after it has let itself go to sleep, the fans are on high and the machine won't wake up. I can't mount the machine's hard disk remotely from my MacBook Pro on the home network (which I usually can) and I have to hold the power switch down to force a restart. I've checked the Console logs (all messages) and the last message is usually sometime in the morning, sometimes as late as 5 or 6 am. But, there is no common thread to the last messages before the machine freezes, so I can't use that to identify what process was running when the machine froze.
    This past weekend, I got up at 5:45 am and heard the fans running high and then went to watch the Formula 1 race on TV. The machine was frozen again when I got back to it at 8 am. So, the problem will happen whenever it wants, but only in the night (before 8 am and after midnight).
    I've tried the following, with no success:
    • Reinstalled OS X 10.6 and followed the update path
    • Reset the SMC and PRAM
    • Rebooted the machine before going to bed, so that no user login process or software was running at the time of the freeze.
    What is a good process to use for debugging this problem, from this point, since the Console Logs don't give me any consistent information? Is there a way to make the Console logs more verbose?
    How can I get a list of all the maintenance processes that autostart on my machine at night? I'm assuming the problem is with a process installed by third party software, since I didn't clear the problem when I reinstalled a fresh copy of OS X.
    Thanks, in advance, for your help.

    I can't believe I missed this thread. I was sure I was the only one. This has been happening to me for months now, and of course out of warranty. I've tried so many things. Mac Pro Dual Core Intel. Fans go bananas for no discernible reason (according to Activity Monitor). I often return to an un-wakeable display despite the fans going full blast. Sometimes while I'm working, the thing just puts itself to sleep and doesn't want to wake up. Several times a week, the system hangs. (There's usually nothing complicated being done, although using iPhoto is pretty much guaranteed to freeze everything.) Almost always takes more than one hard restart in a row to get it back up, sometimes a DOZEN or more. Have no idea whether attempting a safe boot helps reduce the number of tries but it seems to. It's set never to sleep; I've reset the SMC and PRAM and deleted video preferences (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1573). The issue pre-dated installing Snow Leopard and was unchanged by it.
    By the way, the computer is at its most silent now - 600rpm each on power supply and exhaust fans, and 500 each on CPU and expansion according to iStat - and it's still pretty loud. Anyone else have that issue?

  • Original Mac Pro 2.66 Quad any good?

    I am considering buying a used Mac Pro.  I would like the 2009 Nehalem Quad 2.66, but those cost $1,500+ from what I have seen.  I've noticed that the 2006 Woodcrest Quad 2.66 machines can be had for less than $1,000.  I currently use a late 2008 MacBook Pro C2D 2.4GHz unibody, with 8 GB OWC RAM, and it is very fast, and does everything that I need a computer to do.  My uses are Photoshop CS5, Nikon Scan 4.02, general internet use, e-mail, itunes/iphone, and gaming.  Would an older 2006 Mac Pro 2.66 quad be able to do that stuff well?  Would it be as fast as my MacBook Pro?
    Is the older machine a waste of money and outdated, or still viable?
    Jared

    the mac pro 1,1 has been selling for under $1,000 for the years, sometimes more but that is rare.
    Pressure from new 2011 Sandy Bridge laptops and iMac has pushed the price down.
    People can run 10.410 which also for some is ideal unless they 'want' to shell out thousands on new software and sometmes new hardware.
    Unless you actually own and use one, you won't know.
    Or frequent other discussions and what is being said and market.
    But $1200 is too much and $800 has been common for the last two years.
    But 8-core 2.66s can be installed easily enough and rival any 2009 model other than lack of DDR3 (much cheaper than our FBDIMMs), and of course there is just such a huge selection of one (or two possible) graphic cards. No GTX 580 for you or us unless you run and use it as a PC Window which it does quite well also.

  • ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB for Mac Pro 2.66 Quad Core Xenon

    I have the option of picking up an ATI Radeon HD 4870 1 GB graphics card to go with my soon-to-be-new MAc Pro 2.66 Quad core. I see know that Apple can upgrade to ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB, but that card is not available to me at the moment. Will the 1GB do the job without overheating the system? Am new to the Mac Pros. Need it for the Windows gaming portion of the system. Am using the rest for graphics and photography.

    If the MAc Pro 2.66 comes with Snow Leopard, why would I have to upgrade my OS?
    OK. So, if got the MAc version, it would work A-OK without overheating?
    Thanks for your input!

  • Mac pro 2.66 Quad Core - boot drive mirrored, replace?

    All,
    I have a Mac Pro 2.66 Quad Core system.
    I got all 'sexy' when I set it up - loaded four 1-TB drives in the 4 bays, Mirrored the boot set, also mirrored the secondary set for data.
    I am getting ready to have these guys filled up (I do lots of video, pics, etc), and am thinking about 'growing' the drives to 2TB or even 3TB disks (mirrored of course, I'm paranoid).
    So I am thinking about the 'how' of moving my data to the larger drive, getting things set up.  I have not had any of the drives fail, so I haven't needed to do a swap out yet.
    Can I simply take out one of the mirrored boot drives, put in a larger drive, and it will then rebuild the mirror?
    or if anyone has some info they can point me to, I'd appreciate it.
    thx

    You cannot just add a larger drive and grow your RAID Volume size. You need to create an empty larger RAID Volume and COPY the data to the larger Volume, e.g., from your Backups.
    Mirrored RAID is NOT Backup. It merely extends the time to repair to keep a drive failure from becoming a data disaster. RAID gives you no protection from human error, crazy software or file problems that happen "just because". You still need backup.
    One of the best ways to get increased performance from a computer with the ability to support multiple Internal drives is to keep only System, Library, Applications, and the hidden unix files including paging/swap on the Boot Drive, and move everything else off. This dramatically reduces competition for the Boot Drive and everything speeds up. A Velociraptor is a little faster, and an SSD is incrementally faster still.
    If that is all that is on the Boot Drive, you do not need to RAID it, since it can be reproduced from DVDs or downloads in short order. All your User files and Preferences are on other drives..
    Implementing this would suggest a single small fast Boot Drive, typically with an offline clone as Backup for emergencies, and forget about RAID-ing the Boot Drive.

  • Running 10.6.8 on Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66GHz processors.  Can I upgrade to Lion 10.7

    I've just upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro Dual-Core Intell Xeon, 2.66GHz.   Is it possilbe to upgrade to Lion 10.7 with my Mac Pro Dual Core or have I just hit my ceiling on 10.6.8 update ?

    Mac Pros are not PowerMacs.    In 2006, Apple changed all its cheesegrater enclosure Macs to have the Xeon chip installed, and changed the name to Mac Pro at that that time from PowerMac G5.  That said, all Mac Pros can upgrade to a minimum of 10.7.5.   Only the earliest ones can't upgrade to 10.8 and above.   10.7 and later do not have Rosetta, the ability to run PowerPC (pre-2006) applications natively.  For other pitfalls, read this tip.
