What's on this page?
The Mac Pro was Apple's first Intel-based tower, and is exactly the same physical size as the Power Mac G5, although the the Mac Pro is an air-cooled system while the Power Mac G5 Quad was a liquid-cooled system. The Mac Pro may be the most customized Mac on the planet; with multiple options of processors, up to four hard drives and plenty of video card slots, many of our Mac Pro offerings are fairly unique.
This used Mac Pro is a 64-bit workstation, but it is fully compatible with existing 32-bit applications. This allows you to run the new generation of 64-bit applications that address massive amounts of memory, without compromising the performance of existing 32-bit applications. Note, however, that if you're using software that's not optimized for Intel (via the transparent "Rosetta" emulation), a G5 tower can actually be faster overall.
Drives
The four drives are SATA, and can be easily added and removed - but not while the computer is turned on... these drives are not hot-pluggable, or hot swap-able. The unit can come with open bays with the "sled" or mounting bracket included and empty. As you need to you can add your own SATA drives. Just mount your new drive into the supplied bracket. The drive carrier in the Mac Pro is a simple piece of aluminum that fastens to any standard SATA drive with four screws on the bottom of the drive and allows the drives SATA and power connectors to mate directly with a small backplane.
RAM
The Mac Pro was the first Mac to use FB-DIMM (Fully-Buffered DIMM) memory. FB memory offers significant performance gains over standard DIMM memory, further contributing to the overall performance of the Mac Pro.
When adding memory to the Mac Pro, DIMMs must be installed in pairs of equal size and speed, from the same manufacturer. The Mac Pro is expandable to an officially supported maximum of 16GB of memory.
PCI-Express Slots
The 4 PCI-Express expansion slots are numbered from bottom to top. Slot #1 is double-wide and support high-powered, double-wide graphics cards without sacrificing multiple PCI slots. (Recall on the Power Mac G5, a double-wide card installed in Slot #1 blocked access to Slot #2.) On the Mac Pro, PCI Express Slots #2, #3, and #4 are available for single-width PCI Express expansion cards. There is a utility called the Expansion Slot manager that allows monitoring of these slots.
General Specifications:
- Xeon (Woodcrest) processors with two cores each
- ECC DDR2 FB-DIMM RAM. Must be installed in pairs. Max: 16 GB in 8 RAM slots
- Support up to 8 displays (with extra video cards installed), with resolutions up to 2560x1600
- 5 USB 2.0 Ports (2 on the front, 3 on the back), 2 FireWire 400 ports (1 on front and 1 on back) and 2 FireWire 800 port (1 on front and 1 on back)
- Four PCIe Expansion slots (one used by a video card)
- Four 3.5" hard drive bays for Serial ATA drives
- Airport Extreme and Bluetooth slots
- Ethernet: Two 10/100/1000 Base T ports
Advantages of a pre-owned Mac Pro:
- The least expensive tower-based Intel architecture possible
- Time-proven design and architecture
- Much more expandable than any used iMac, with much greater display options
- A smaller percentage depreciation. In other words, the value of the Mac Pro in trade in should be a higher percentage of purchase price than virtually any new machine purchased today
- A workhorse machine designed to last for years
- Will be able to keep up with the latest software and OS developments for years
Our Guarantee:
Our Pre-Owned Macs come with a 90 day warranty and two additional guarantees: First, your used Mac arrives and isn't working as it should, we'll pick it up* and replace it at our expense (some conditions apply).

Why People Like You Chose Powermax
Thanks for all the information, it is a great help. I will let you know how it all comes out - and may have to ask you for some more help. I appreciate your consideration - actually this is the way I have been treated by everyone I have worked with at PowerMax. I wouldn't buy a Mac anyplace else. This is my second one from PowerMax.
Take care,
I thank you and PowerMax for the always terrific service. I must always remember to check with you guys first.
Thanks,
Just wanted to thank you for the personal service. I appreciate that you called me on my credit card problem, and have kept me updated on the status of my order. I place orders on line several times a month, and sometimes customer service is lacking.
Thank you, again.
BIG kudos to your company for shipping to APOs. I love Apple and all their products, but their lack of support to Service Members deployed and stationed overseas has been a sore point with me for a long time!!! It is refreshing to find a company that understands that Soldiers in Iraq (and Afghanistan, and Germany, and Japan, etc.) deserve easy access to Macs as well as anyone else.
Thank you for your help.
I received the display and the last tablet today, thank you. Your service has been great; I appreciate you taking an interest in my new business, and will certainly have more purchase orders for you in the future.
Best,
