Hello, I have come across a July 2007 MacPro 1,1 machine that is running Lion.
Although daunted by the physical size of the machine compared to my Mac Mini, I am attracted to the idea of mounting extra drives internally. However, it does not run Mountain Lion. I am running Mountain Lion on my Mac Mini - Late 2009 model and so various software has been updated and I cannot simply import all my data onto the MacPro running Lion, hence am interested to see if I can get the MacPro running on Mountain Lion. There is a blog at http://www.jabbawok.net/?p=47 that seems to be well regarded as a solution, and involves purchasing a Radeon HD 5770 kit from the Apple Store $249, plus fiddling with installing a different boot system on an extra internal drive. My query is has anyone had any success with this upgrade? Alternatively, I can set it up to run Lion and let one of the family use it. I realise that by spending money on the Mac Pro, a five year old machine, that sooner or later it will become redundant once again, unable, like my iPad 1, to move to the newest OS.
