How do I choose between Early 2009 and Mid 2010 Mac Pros for upgrading a crashed system?
Think my Early 2009 Mac Pro is toast. I haven't been able to install new OS regardless of which one since it crashed....tried El Capitan, Mohave.
It either won't boot, recognize Installer or drive with OS installed from another same exact Mac Pro. If it does boot into OS it's choppy and freezes up within a minute or two. Chime sound like gurgling 🤷
So I'm rebuilding and upgrading my Mac Pro. My case is in great condition so going to take it apart and remove everything then rebuild.
Which of these 2 options should I go with:
1. Early 2009 Mac Pro with 2x 3.46 6-Core Intel Xeon.
2. Mid 2010 Mac Pro with 2x 2.66 6-Core Intel Xeon
Would a 2012 Mac Pro be noticeably better than either of the above?
Both would be set up with 64gb Ram (8x8gb)
