This is actually the correct link for my model: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-quad-core-2.8-2008- specs.html 2.8 GHz Q. Core Xeon E5462, from March 2009. Storage: 320GB HDD Mac Pro Subfamily: Early 2008 Model Number: A1186 Model ID: MacPro3,1 EMC Numbe: 2180 It is NOT maxed out. It's only at 8GB ECC ram.

LOL My T540p Thinkpad is from 2013, but I got that used in 2015 or so. LOL I don't think I will ever attain a PC with 128GB ram! >> Havent tried a linux boot yet.

I'm thinking of adapting it as my main backup server after I put in some larger drives. MK> BTW the url works great on a text browser. I am impressed. I didn't MK> think apple had it in them. Mind you I imagine that is an old page. Yes.. it's a well-maintained site. -- ../|ug --- OpenXP 5.0.64 * Origin: Got Mobile?
