AnandTech: Apple’s Mac Pro – Upgrading CPUs, Memory & Running XP
Weeks have passed since Apple’s announcement of the Mac Pro, and while we wanted to conclude our look at the Mac Pro much earlier, like many Mac Pro users we ran into some serious performance issues under Windows XP. With the Mac Pro performance issues resolved and some more time with the system under our belts, we’re able to bring you the final part in our Mac Pro coverage. This time we’re focusing on upgrading the memory and CPUs in the Mac Pro, as well as looking at its performance as a PC running Windows XP.
As a high end Xeon based machine that can run both Mac OS X and Windows XP, the Mac Pro has the potential to be the power user’s dream. Today our task is to find out just how upgradable this machine is and how well it runs XP, if it can truly be your only system if you’re a Mac and PC user.
