The Mac Pro series of desktops from Apple are especially good for business functionality, and they are great for gaming and home use too. The Mac Pro A1289 features an eight-core processor setup that consists of two quad-core Intel Xeon processors that run up to 2.26 GHz each. The Xeon Quad processor is capable of a 2.53 GHz turbo boost for extra speed. It also supports "hyper threading," which lets you run multiple different threads at the same time on each core. This provides incredible speed and efficiency, allowing you to operate multiple functions at once or have multiple tabs open without your computer lagging. The Intel CPU is paired with 6GB of SD DDR3 ECC RAM operating at 1066 MHz and a hard drive consisting of 500GB of HDD memory plus 256GB of SSD memory. You will experience amazing graphics with the AMD Radeon HD 5770 GPU that has a graphics memory of 1GB. The GPU also contributes to speed while preventing video processes from slowing or crashing your computer. The equipped optical drive is an 18x dual-layer Super Drive. The hardware is supported by the Mac OS operating system, which has an efficient interface and a user-friendly feel. This model of Mac also allows for ample connectivity with a number of ports and connections available. There are five USB ports total and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. The designers at Apple have eliminated the Firewire 400 ports and now have four Firewire 800 ports for even faster transfer rates. There are two Mini DisplayPort ports that allow you to connect multiple displays to the tower as well. If you are interested in how you can upgrade this Mac many possibilities exist. There are additional RAM slots, four PCIe slots (one is a free PCIe 2.0 x 16 slot and two are free PCIe 2.0 x 4 slots), and of the four 3.5-inch direct attach drive bays that will support extra memory drives, three are free by default. Do-it-yourself upgrades are made much easier with the processors and memories placed on a removable "tray." With the dual 2.26 GHz quad-core processors on the Mac Pro by Apple, you will experience speed and efficiency, even when running multiple applications. The 500GB hard drive holds all the information you will need, plus you will have room for videos, games, software, and other files.
