Hello All!
I have a Mac Pro mid 2010 where some of the RAM is failing it's ECC checks, here are the following specs:
I don't want to bother replacing the RAM that is failing to pass ECC checks since it's so old. I'd rather replace it but Apple has decided that pro users like me don't matter since they released a Mac Pro Jr. a few years ago that they haven't bothered to update.
The guide on here offers a number of high performance gaming/desktop motherboard / cpu / ram options for Hackintosh builders but I'm less concerned with getting consumer grade hardware and more concerned with buying hardware that is meant for workstation class loads. I want to build a Xeon + ECC RAM + RAID workstation with OS X, ideally recycling my 4 LCD monitors to avoid replacing them. Is that something anyone else has experience with?
