What os can i install on my mac pro 1,1

I want to upgrade my OS and I just want to know how far I can upgrade. I have a Mac Pro 1,1 with 5gb RAM and 2x2.66Ghz Intel Xeon Dual-Core Processors. I'm currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

Dump those 512MB DIMMs and get 2x2GB set for Mac Pro on Amazon.
The old DIMMs are old, run hotter, and waste of DIMM slots. The new RAM would go in top riser in slots 1&2.
While at it, pick up $130 250GB Samsung EVO SSD will do wonders!
Do a clean install.
Save the installer package before running - Diskmaker can make a nice bootable installer you can put on any partition you want (16GB at least) to use and reuse.
Lion runs super nicely.

How many Sapphire Sapphire RADEON R9 270X can i install in my mac pro 2009?

How many of the graphics cards can I install in my mac pro 2009? Sapphire Sapphire RADEON R9 270X
Thanks

Why? do you use FCP-X? that will benefit from two. Also gaming in Windows where you can use Crossfire
You have two 6-pin power feeds so you will need a small 450W PSU - those come with two 8-pin and two 6-pin.
Those can often fit in the optical drive bay and cost $25-75 range.
"500W" is NOT for the card! that is the minimum PC PSU only!
when buying look for card that uses only two 6-pin and not an 8-pin power.
75W for the PCIe slot, and 150W from two 6-pin cables, most GPUs fall into the 200-250W at maximum stress levels8-pin is basically two 6-pins and 150W feed
> we CrossFired a pair of Radeon R9 270s in our 2010 Mac Pro tower. Under Windows 7 64bit Ultimate, it registered 145 FPS in the Diablo test.
http://barefeats.com/tube06.html
Keep in mind that the Mac Pro tower can't feed enough power to the dual 980s, dual 290Xs, or dual 7950s.
We used an auxillary power supply to compensate.
For the hard core GPU rendering, there are external expansion boxes with their own power supplies.
In an earlier article, we featured the Cubix Xpander which facilitated the connection of 5 GPUs to the Mac Pro tower.
If you favor an AMD GPU like the Radeon R9 290X, MacVidCards can modify it to run at PCIe 2.0 bandwidth in your Mac Pro tower.
The Sapphire Radeon R9 7950 Mac Edition is available from OWC and TransIntl.
February 6th, 2015 -- Dual GeForce GTX 980s vs other Dual GPUs running multi-gpu 'aware' apps
February 6th, 2014 -- (UPDATE) GeForce GTX 980 GPU versus 8 other GPUs running Games and OpenGL Benchmarks
January 29th, 2015 -- GeForce GTX 980 vs 9 other GPUs running Resolve, LuxMark, and Octane Render
December 28th, 2013 -- Does Final Cut Pro X 10.1 render faster on Mac Pro towers with Dual AMD GPUs? What about Motion 5.1?
Things to keep in mind:
The Radeon R9 280X we used was 'un-flashed.' It booted OS X fine but there was no startup screen. Also, when we checked the speed of CPU-to-PCIe-to-CPU communication, it appeared to be running in PCIe 1.0 mode instead of PCIe 2.0. However, unless the GPU intensive app saturates the PCIe 1.0 bandwidth, it will not run any faster in PCIe 2.0 mode. http://barefeats.com/tube12.html
Which is one reason why you might want to buy pre-modified cards from http://www.macvidcards.com

How many hard drives can i install in my mac pro

How do I know what size hard drives I can install? I currently have 4 x 2TB drives installed and am looking to go bigger. 4 x 4TB would be ideal and if you have suggestions on which drives might give me best performance for HD video editing that would be nice too.
Also can I install more RAM?
ere is some information to help.

Can't install flashplayer on Mac OSX v.10.6.8

Can't install flashplayer on Mac OSX v.10.6.8 I get "missing plug-in" message whenever I try to run a clip. Nothing will run--utube, news clips, nothing. I have uninstalled and then reinstalled flashplayer. what do I need to do???

Download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
If it won't download directly, right click and "Save as"
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the Flash Player.plugin file from there
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Trash the Flash Player folder (the whole folder)
Empty the trash
Reboot
Mount the DMG and run the installer.
BEFORE opening any Flash content in Safari, open Safari>Preferences, and check the Security tab to make sure "Allow all other plugins" is checked.

Hello Chris,
thanks for getting back to me. I managed to install the AIR using command line
and -silent -EULAaccepted options. Still having issues with installing Picaboo X
software, but i suppose it's a problem on their side as other apps are installing
without issues

Hi,
I'm sorry you're running into problems with the installer. Was there any additional log information provided? It appears that it's been truncated. When the installer runs, do you see any dialogs, progress bars, or errors? Finally, did you get any errors when you ran the AppleScript?
Thanks,
