See this thread for info on CPU upgrades you can do yourself: I'm currently running hardware identical to that you propose with DP8.07 under Mountain Lion (10.8 last version) and enjoying very stable and responsive performance. loved the Quad G5, but the Mac Pro running DP8 64 bit simply blew the G5 out of the water and I never looked back. Not necessary if Time Machine or Migration Assistant is used. This is a good idea with MS Office and all other other user files. This will avoid permission and privileges issues that might keep your files from opening properly on your Mac Pro. If you decide to do a clean install and copy things over instead, it is imperative that you zip (compress or archive in the File menu) your DP project folders on the G5 first. Some 32bit only 3rd party plugins may not behave properly after OS 10.8-lots of threads and some workarounds for that on these boards.
You will need your install CD to authorize on the new Mac but, having moved your projects over via TM or MA, they should just fire up. Since there are some changes such as the Trim plugin, it's a good idea to have it working and makes the transition easier between 7.24 and DP 8/9 for some projects. It is not supported, of course, but DP 7.24 installs and works fine in OS 10.11, btw. Migration Assistant over Ethernet will be the fastest way to do this.ĭeactivate any internet based licenses on the G5 first to save time. Depending on what you have installed, this will actually take more time and involve more headaches than a fresh install of the OS and porting everything over via Migration Assistant or Time Machine. You are going to be tempted to just take your drives out of one machine and put it into the other to shortcut the changeover. The savings on your electric bill will make it highly unlikely that you'll ever plug in your G5 again once you've ported everything over. Like MLC above, I also went from a G5 to an Intel Mac.
