Specs
Mac Pro – BTO/CTO – MacPro5,1 – A1289
About this Mac
This device is a BTO/CTO device which is nearly identical to MC915LL/A. We have listed this device separately as it has been configured with an upgraded processor when compared to the base model. This has been done to make it easier to catalog as well as easier to read.
The Mac Pro in 2010 had some differences from its predecessors but was certainly packed with more power to drive your work. The differences include its Turbo Boost capacity from 3.33 GHz to up to 3.6 GHz. Also, there was the disappearance of the FireWire “400” ports but not a reduction in the overall number of FireWire ports as the two FireWire “400” ports were replaced by 2 more FireWire “800” ports, a similar exercise was carried out on the PCIe expansion slots as four PCI e 2.0 slots were now present as opposed to 2 PCIe and 2 PCIe 2.0 ports. The Mac Pro was still the most expensive of all products but its price was worth the quality of the machine.
