Mac Pro – MC250LL/A – MacPro5,1 – A1289

Apple Mac Pro Quad Core 2010

About this Mac

The Mac Pro in 2010 had some difference from its predecessors but was certainly packed with the more power to drive your work. The differences include its Turbo Boost capacity for 2.8 GHz to up to 3.06 GHz. Also there was the disappearance of the Fire Wire “400” ports but not a reduction in the overall number of FireWire ports as the two FireWire “400” ports were replaced by 2 more FireWire “800” ports, a similar exercise was carried out on the PCIe expansion slots as four PCI e 2.0 slots were now present as opposed to 2 PCIe and 2 PCIe 2.0 ports. The Mac Pro was still the most expensive of all products but its price was worth the quality of the machine.
