Apple Mac Pro 'Quad Core' 2.8 (2008) Specs Identifiers: Early 2008 - BTO/CTO - Distribute This Page: Download: The Mac Pro 'Quad Core' 2.8 (Early 2008), technically is a 'build-to-order' configuration of the, but also is documented as a separate model for reader convenience. Other than processor (this model has one 2.8 GHz Quad Core processor and the stock model has two), these two models are identical. The Mac Pro 'Quad Core' 2.8 (Early 2008) is powered by one 2.8 GHz Quad Core 45-nm Intel Xeon E5462 (Harpertown/Penryn) processor with 12 MB of level 2 cache (each pair of cores shares 6 MB), a 128-bit SSE4 SIMD vector engine, and a 1.6 GHz 64-bit independent frontside bus. By default, it was configured with 2 GB of 800 MHz DDR2 EEC 'fully-buffered' FB-DIMM memory, a 320 GB (7200 RPM, 8 MB cache) 3Gb/s Serial ATA hard drive, a double-layer 16X 'SuperDrive', and an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics processor with 256 MB of GDDR3 memory and two dual-link DVI ports. Expansion includes two external 5.25' 'optical' bays (one free by default), four internal 3.5' 'cable-free, direct attach' hard drive bays (three free by default), two PCIe x4 slots, and two PCIe 2.0 x16 slots (one free with one graphics card installed). Ports include dual Gigabit Ethernet, five USB 2.0 ports, two Firewire '400' ports, two Firewire '800' ports, and optical digital audio in/out, among others.

Bluetooth 2.0+EDR is standard, AirPort Extreme (802.11g/n) and a modem are optional. Compared to the original that it replaced, the 'Early 2008' Mac Pro uses a more advanced architecture with faster and more efficient processors with larger level 2 caches, a more advanced vector engine, faster frontside buses (1.6 GHz instead of 1.33 GHz), faster memory (800 MHz instead of 667 MHz), support for optional faster Serial Attached SCSI drives (with the installation of the Mac Pro RAID card), and two 16-lane PCIe 2.0 slots.

Details:.This model has two PCIe x4 expansion slots and two PCIe 2.0 x16 expansion slots (in the default confugration one PCIe 2.0 x16 slot is occupied by the graphics card). Apple also reports that 'all slots provide mechanical support for 16-lane cards and supports 300W combined maximum for all PCI Express slots.' AirPort Extreme (802.11g/n) additionally can be installed at extra cost.

In the default configuration, one internal 3.5' bay is occupied by a hard drive and three are free, and one external 5.25' bay is occupied by a 'SuperDrive' and the other is free. The no longer available Developer's Note also documented 'two unpopulated 3 Gbps SATA buses for expansion'. Also see: many PCI slots of what type are provided by each Mac Pro model? How do you install a PCIe card in the Mac Pro? In the US (and many other countries), site sponsor sells a wide variety of internal and external expansion options and hand-picked accessories ranging from internal PCIe cards to external storage, stands, keyboards, cables, adapters, and more for.

Details:.This system can run the last version of OS X 10.8 'Mountain Lion,' OS X 10.9 'Mavericks,' OS X 10.10 'Yosemite' and OS X 10.11 'El Capitan', although it does not support advanced features like AirDrop, AirPlay Mirroring, or Power Nap. It also does not support 'OpenCL' running the default ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT video card. If configured with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT or NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600, it does support OpenCL. This system is not capable of running macOS Sierra (10.12) or subsequent versions of the macOS at all. Please also note that OS X 'Lion' 10.7 and subsequent versions of OS X are not capable of running Mac OS X apps originally written for the PowerPC processor as these operating systems do not support the 'Rosetta' environment. To run PowerPC applications on this Mac, it will be necessary to use Mac OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard' or earlier. Also see: Macs are compatible with OS X El Capitan (10.11)?
