  • Mac Pro 2010 recommendations for upgrading system

    Posted by Beth Cramer on December 9, 2014 at 10:49 pm

    I am a video editor using Adobe CC suite and large media files (uncompresssed files. 4:2:2HQ, Red, Alexa etc..)
    I haven’t made any upgrades to my mac pro since purchase. I’m running OS 10.9.2
    Can you recommend what I should add to my set up below:

    Processor 065-9540 Two 2.66GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory 065-9550 12GB (6X2GB)
    Graphics Card 065-9573 ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB
    RAID 065-9554 None
    Hard Drive Bay1 065-9557 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
    Hard Drive Bay2 065-9562 2TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
    Hard Drive Bay3 065-9563 None
    Hard Drive Bay4 065-9567 None
    Optical Drive 065-9576 One 18x SuperDrive
    Mini Display Port Adapt 065-9664 None
    Mini Display Port Adapt 065-9666 None
    Fibre Chl Card 065-9580 None
    MAC OS X SERVER 065-7932 None
    Apple Software App- iWorK 065-7672 None
    Apple Software Final Cut Exp 065-7674None
    Apple Software App-Aperture 065-7673None
    Apple Software App-Logic Exp 065-7675None
    SW APP-FILEMAKER 065-8307 None
    SW-MSO 065-8198 NONE
    Mouse from AOS 065-9589 Magic Mouse.
    ACCY PACK 065-0053 NONE

    I find it a bit sluggish and wonder if any add ons should be made to the original configuration.
    I also haven’t had any maintenance done on the computer since I purchased it.
