You would be proud of me...

I run a Mac Pro 1,1 (2006) that has an EFI firmware update to a 2,1 using a 
boot loader to run OSX 10.9 if I wish.  Working on ways to run OSX 10 on it 
should be successful soon.

I have a 120GB SSD as a boot drive, 14GB RAM (nearly all scrounged) and just 
recently bought a couple of 5355 SLAEG CPUs for $50 to bump it from four 
processors at 2.0GHz to eight running at 2.6GHz.  Last night I installed an ATI 
5850 graphics card flashed with the proper EFI so I get boot screens.

It's an antique, but there is a large contingent of Mac enthusiasts with these 
and some willing code writers who keep finding ways around the 32 bit EFI they 
are crippled with. I love it and can't imagine using anything else.
