    4K video card for Mac Pro 1,1 2,1

    i have a Mac Pro 1,1 which has the 2,1 firmware running on it. The machine is running el cap and currently has a Radeon HD 6870 PC Card which works fine but can’t drive a 4K monitor at 60hz. Are there any reasonably priced cards that would work in el cap and windows 10?

    Cost for AASP to upgrade RAM?

    Does anyone know how much an AASP would charge? I want to buy a Mac Mini as my first Mac ever. I'm considering the i5, 16GB, 256GB version for photo editing.

    Can I upgrade MacBook Air with a newer motherboard?

    I have a 2013 Macbook Air 13" (i5, 4GB). The MacBook Air's design seems to have stayed pretty much the same from 2012-2017, so I was wondering if there was anything preventing me from purchasing a fully-specced 2017 motherboard off of eBay with all the components on it and replacing the current...

    This C|Net article claims that replacing the mini RAM requires a trip to an Apple service center.

    In the third paragraph it states "But like most Apple products, it's not really end-user upgradable, requiring a trip to a service center. This undercuts one of the perks, namely being able to buy less expensive memory elsewhere" https://www.cnet.com/reviews/apple-mac-mini-2018-preview/
