MAC Pro first generation PCIe Slots 1 and 2: are the y equal?

I have an X1900 XT card and I wanna replace the stock GPU cooler with an off-market one which needs some space below the card as well as above it.
I am a bit confused on the informatin I get around about the PCIe slots on Mac Pro (Dual dual cores 3.0GHz). I read both slots one and two support X16 lane where at another place, I read slot two can only supports upto X8. So I am wondering which is the case? Does slot two provides the very same x16 performance as slot one for this video card?
Thanks.

Your first gen Mac Pro has slots in this default config:
slot 4 (top) = 8 lane
slot 3 = 1 lane
slot 2 = 1 lane
slot 1 = 16 lane
You can change the lane speeds to some extent using the Expansion Slot Utility but only slot 1 runs as 16 lane.
We tested the X1900 XT in 16 lane, 8 lane and 4 lane slots. There's a slight slowdown in an 8 lane slot. A 4 lane or 1 lane slot will cause a significant slowdown. Slot 1 is the best place to put your graphics card if you want maximum speed.

Mac Pro will not boot - HD and Machine are fine.

Greetings, and thank you in advance for your wisdom.
I have a 12-core Mac Pro, and she has been running like a dream. Once a month I run Onyx. Yesterday I did the same and upon reboot I got the grey apple screen and the spinning progress wheel that never stops spinning.
1. I repaired the HD via Disk Utility. All is fine.
2. The contents of the start-up drive are accessible - so the drive itself is not physically damaged.
3. I installed a new HD and made a copy of this Start-up disk via the Disk Utility. It will not boot from this drive as well.
4. I installed Snow Leopard (still using this) on the new drive to make sure the computer was happy. It fires up fine.
5. Everything is disconnected from the Mac Pro
So, I have obvious, and idiotically damaged the start-up disk using Onyx (assumption).
My life would be much better knowing I could do something that would enable me to boot from my current start-up and that's where I seek your wisdom.
Another question would be: If the above is not possible, if I install a fresh OS on the new drive, and then begin to replace all of the folders from the old drive (applications, library, etc.) will I be able to access my files as I did before. My issue is that I use this for music production, and there are literally close to 100 plugins that all have been registered. Going back through that process again would be days of labor, as some of these were purchases years ago. Tracking down serials would be a task. I think you understand.
So any advice that might prevent me from having to do as I said above will be wonderful.
Thank you all so much.

Under some circumstances, you may need to reinstall Mac OS X. You can reinstall Mac OS X while keeping your files and user settings intact.
from:
Mac OS X 10.6: Reinstalling Mac OS X
If your Hardware is functioning correctly, and your disk has no un-repaired Directory problems [Hint: run Disk Utility ( Repair Disk ) first] then re-installing Mac OS X modifies ONLY the files that are part of Mac OS X. Your Added Applications, User files (which contain preferences and serial numbers) are not supposed to be touched.

Mac pro first generation and SSD

Hi,
I want to add 1 or 2 SSD's to my first generation mac pro. I'm still running leopard, and want to keep that version.
Which brand works best with mac ?
And what about the trim function ? Is this implemented in OSX ?

Excellent questions, I too am looking at SSD.
Some things I know about SSD:
1. Intel recently released new firmware for their SSD drives to improve long term performance including Trim/Garbage collection.
2. SSD drives can be setup as SLC or MLC - SLC is faster read 2X, write 4X over MLC, however SLC is smaller capacity. SLC also has a longer life span.
3. Intel plans to have an 320GB X25-M (MLC) and a 128GB X25-E (SLC) out soon.
OSX does not fully support Trim and I'm not aware of any 3rd party software for OSX that helps in the garbage collection area. Diskeeper 2010 for Windows 7 provides full support for all variants of SSD, but nothing on the Mac side.
I'm probably going to wait for 2010 to see what comes out, SSD appears to be good news, but it still also seems to have issues. Given the cost of these drivers and the frequent firmware updates, a wait and see is my choice.
I've thought about going with a SAS RAID controller and 15K RAID drivers, but the cost/performance ratio comes out about the same and the 15K drives are noisey and power hungry but they're a "known" entity.

Mac Pro (First Generation) problem with 1TB Seagate Barracuda

Hi Macianer,
I have a first generation Mac Pro which was sold with max. 750GB Hard drives for each bay. At this time I am grabbing for straws and maybe someone has any info on this problem.
I purchased 4 x 1TB Seagate Barracuda hard drives ( Model: ST31000340AS / Firmware: SD15 ), did a regular format after I purchased them ( GUID Partition Table, Journaled HFS+ File System). I am using 2 of them internally (they get quite hot and i didn't want to put all 4 of them in there) and two of them externally (backup purposes). The other two internal bays are covered by 2x 500GB Barracuda drives.
I put all four 1 TB hard drived through a 1 week stress test to make sure I am not dealing with bad apples. So far this practice served me well.
Now 2 weeks later one completely crashed (internal boot drive). It sounded to spin up alright but was not accessible at all. I went to BestBuy and GeekSquad said this drive is crashed and I returned it.
Since I had a backup I didn't worry too much. I put the back up hard drive in as the new boot drive (since it was a SuperDuper duplicat) it worked like a charm. Now the second hard drive starts temporarily freezing the system for 2-4 minutes and seems to get stuck showing the great colored ball of doom. After the freeze it continues to operate normal again and I am able to continue my work.
I ran the Disk Utility and I got the following message:
INVALID KEY LENGTH
VOLUME CHECK FAILED.
ERROR: FILESYSTEM VERIFY OR REPAIR FAILED.
It just seems weird, I never had problems with hard drives and now I get these problems with 3-4 week old hard drives.
I was in a chat with seagate support. First question to trouble shoot: Do you have access to a PC. My answer was no since Microsoft Vista I donated all of them to the Salvation Army. He asked if I formatted the hard drives low level and MBR with HFS+. I said since I do not have access to PC nor do I plan on using my hard drives for PC I formatted it regular with GUID and HFS+. I asked if there is any history of these drives that would help explain my experience. I was hoping for a recall or something of that sort or something that a firmware upgrade would remedy.
I guess my question is, is the first generation Mac Pro, even though it seems to format and run them fine, not able to handle 1TB hard drives on a daily basis. Or am I dealing with hard drive problems? The Seagate guy didn't seem to be of any help.
Any help is appreciated or even pointers that would help me in finding the problem.
Cheers,
PixelGrinch

Mac Pro first generation can't load Mavericks. What is the technical reason?

Someone I know has an original Mac Pro, from 2006. I know it says that Mavericks requires at least a 2008 Mac Pro. What is the technical reasons for not including older hardware? I understand the points about the G5 and before cannot go higher than Leopard, because they stopped supporting non-Intel Macs. However, the Mac Pro, is an Intel Mac, and of course I know that Apple wants you on newer hardware, but that original Mac Pro is still a capable machine. I would like to know if there is something about what is in Mavericks (and future OSes) that precludes them from installing on older Intel Macs.

That computer has a 32-bit EFI. Mavericks requires a 64-bit one.

Mac pro 8 core memory 667 and 800MHz in the same machine

Hi there,
is it possible to install 667 and 800MHz memory in the same mac pro 8 core? Is there a performance hit to doing this? does memory need to be installed in matched pairs in a mac pro 8 core?
Cheers

Mac Pro as a Web Server and Workstation

I'm thinking about getting a better computer, and plan on launching an intensive web app as well as some other web sites. The original plan was to get an xserve or two, and as the need arises add xsan to the setup.
I see that the mac pro is fairly powerful and would make a great server, I could start with a mac pro, then add an xserve and xsan to the setup down the line. What I'd like to know is how it would hold up as a server, while I was using it for work at the same time.. could it handle both and how would it perform?
*To give an idea of the type of setup:*
8core 3.2Ghz
ram as needed min 4gb up to 32gb
separate hard disks for work stuff and served files.
two monitors
*While running:*
photoshop
illustrator
dreamweaver
fireworks
flash
word
flex
3 parallels virtual machines(2 windows 1 linux)
firefox with 200+tabs
4/5 other browsers running.
ftp/mail/calendar and all those other peripheral apps
So to sum up, would using all those apps affect serving a couple websites much, and is there a demo/video/specs of a mac pro(preferably as tricked out as possible) functioning as a server and/or running high end apps doing things like compiling and applying advanced photoshop filters to large files so I can get a sense of performance and speed. It's just hard to visualize what the system could actually handle and numbers don't mean much to me.

It is bad form to use a server as a workstation. You will be running server software, I assume, which is not really client software for which applications are written. You will also be hogging resources one way or the other. You may want to consider a Mini to serve up your website until you can afford an xServe. As far as Xsan, that is really high horse power, and is a good fit for video editing (you need two sxServes and a fiber switch to do an Xsan). You can probably get by with just a RAID attached to the server if you are just hosting web sites, at least in the beginning.

Mac pro 15 fan comes on and then mac is frozen with blank screen

While my mac pro 15 is plugged in and cover shut the fan comes on all of a sudden and is loud . I open the cover and the screen will not come on . I have to shut down with the power button then restart. This has just started. Is my hard drive getting ready to crash?

Ikosova,
have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller, to see if that causes its fan to be better behaved?

Mac Book Pro First Generation Sleep issue

I have a macbook pro first generation with the 1.8Ghz dual core (I added 1 GB ram for a total of 1.5GB). After updating it to OSX 10.4.8, the computer is having sleep issue. If I try to put it to sleep using the sleep command, it will go to sleep, but then it will make the clicking noises around the dvd player slot area, and within a minute or two the computer will wake itself up.
This happens if I use the power adapter to run it, or if I use the battery to power it. In essence the computer is unable to be put to sleep using the sleep command from the menu. I can close the lid, and the display would turned itself off, but the clicking noises from the dvd slot area is still happening, so I am not sure if is is asleep. The only time that it will go to "deep sleep" mode if I leave it until the energy safe command kicks in and put it to sleep.
I don't have problem getting the computer "awaken" from its sleep state. Though it does have that "blank" blue screen a mere seconds before it reverts to the desktop, which a lot of people have reported in their posting. Is this a software problem? or is it a hardware issues?
The laptop is no longer does have its "super hot" issue. Now it is merely warmish hot but not unlike the "super hot" it was before. Cocoa application such as Adobe CS and Microsoft Office are not as fast or snappish as the native application, the speed is comparable to 1Ghz G4 processor. I suppose it is the pitfall or running an emulator?
Does anyone else also experiencing the sleep issue problem? not able to put the laptop to a sleep mode?

Hi!
Yep, the trick with the PMU reset (5 second thinggy) could help. Also, try to reset your PRAM...reboot and hold down Apple-Option-P-R until it restarts again. Release the buttons and there you go...PRAM resetted. However, your date/time setting will be set back to a very early date.
For me, I had the same trouble and I found out that it came from the Migration Assistant which I used to move from my TiBookG4 to my new MBPRo. After transferring all data to the MBP, performance was down and sleep was merely impossible. Reformatting it and reinstalling it was my cure (although this might not be a solution for you).
The question here is : did you move an PowerPC apps via copy or migration assistant to your MBP? If not, do you have a virus checker installed that wants to download something in the background?
Also, check for the "wake for administrator on network" option in the Energy Saver control panel...HTH

I currently run the Design and Web Premium CS6 on a first generation MacBook Air and want to buy a new MacBook Pro. How do I know whether I can install my Adobe programs onto the new computer? Because I know there is some kind of limit.

I currently run the Design and Web Premium CS6 on a first generation MacBook Air and want to buy a new MacBook Pro. How do I know whether I can install my Adobe programs onto the new computer? Because I know there is some kind of limit.
Also, I had to install the software twice on my same computer before because I had to reboot the computer. I don't know if this affects the limit.

You are allowed to have two activated installations so there should not be a problem having working installations on the two machines. If by chance you have somehow tied up two activations for the one machine you can have Adobe support help resolve that thru chat.

Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. Right now, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. Any suggestions?

Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. After trashing many docs, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. I'd like to install Lion, but now I'm afraid it will slow down my machine even further. Do I have enough free hard disc space? Is Mail problem related to free hard disc space? Thanks for your help!

7gb of free disc space is required to install Lion. Read this about how to free up disc space: http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html. Also, advice on how to speed up your mac: http://www.maclife.com/article/feature/25_ways_speed_your_mac

Upgrading Hard Disk on MacBook Pro First Generation

Hello, I am thinking on upgrading the hard disk of my macbook pro, first generation, Core Duo 1.83Ghz, 2GB Ram, 80HD.
Does any one knows wich is the largest HD that this machine support, and if there is a specific brand that I should Use of HD.
I recently upgrade the Memory from 512 to 2 gigas, I bought "generic" DDR2 memory from a local store and those memories works greate in the macbook pro. I would like to know if could do the same with the HD.
thanks.
P.D. My machine doesn´t have warranty any more, so I am planning to do the upgrade under my own risk.

Hello afgarza,
A few months ago I replaced the 100GB in my MBP with a 250GB HITACHI Travelstar. I needed the extra room for Boot Camp. Although 250GB seems pretty big (for a laptop) it's still not big enough. As far as I know, for now, that's about as big as it gets.
By-the-way, if you're planning to replace the hard drive yourself, here's a step-by-step I found (and used) on how to do it:
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/MacBook-Pro/Hard-Drive/85/5/
Although it shows a 15" MBP, it was similar enough for my 17".
(Unfortunately, I have a couple of screws leftover...)

***I'm honestly not super familiar with most kernal extensions but I do see you have MacKeeper running which can slow the computer down
****** This next section talks about Launch agents and Launch Daemons.
****Something to keep in mind is that when you first get the computer that all of these folders are empty and the files in them are all third party.
****If you want to see if the system runs better without them Shut the computer down and turn it on while holding the shift key
****This will put the computer into safemode which turns off third party files and extensions and does not let any launch agent/daemons files run.

***Everything else seems fine

I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do? How can I get the data off this disc? I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.
Ciao.
