Hello,

If I get a MacPro and then at a later date upgrade various parts such as the RAM, graphics card...etc, will my upgrades invalidate the apple warranty?

cheers,

mp

no, this will not affect your warranty. You can always read the warranty or search the apple knowledge-base, like so:

Your warranty won't be affected unless your 3rd party parts cause the fault that occurs. You can always get round this by putting the stock parts back in before you return it under warranty.

For this reason, I would highly recommend that unlike many others, when you upgrade parts (even the RAM), do NOT sell it. If you have to take your machine in for repair, you'll need to put all your stock components back in so they have no excuse to deny you a repair/replacement.
