Is it possible to modify the hardware and EMI of my first generation Intel Mac Pro (macpro 1,1) so that it will run Sierra.
Back when it first became impossible for me to advance my early Mac Pro to graduate to Mountain Lion, I decided to stay with Snow Leopard (because Lion was getting a lot of bad press).
At that time, it was said that all my machine needed to run later MacOS operating systems was a more advanced graphics processor (easy to get, at least it was then) .... and an EMI upgrade (closely guarded by Apple then, but apparently possible, and legal/ethical ??? now with custom EMI having been developed by independent parties).
Is that still true? I understand that I might have to add some memory and that my 1+ GHz, two Xeon Dual processors might under-perform newer Macs running Sierra, but is it realistic to think that my old MacPro could still be a serviceable machine that runs Sierra?
