Mac Pro (MC250LL/A)
The Mac Pro "Quad Core" 2.8 (Nehalem) is powered by a single 2.8 GHz Quad Core 45-nm Xeon W3530 processor with a dedicated 256k of level 2 cache for each core and 8 MB of "fully shared" level 3 cache.
It has been upgraded from 3GB RAM to 16GB RAM of 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM (expandable to 48GB RAM), has a 1 TB (7200 RPM, 32 MB cache) 3Gb/s Serial ATA hard drive, an 18X dual-layer "SuperDrive" and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card with 1 GB of GDDR5 memory.
Expansion includes two external 5.25" "optical" bays (one free by default), four internal 3.5" "cable-free, direct attach" hard drive bays (three free by default), and four PCIe 2.0 slots (one free PCIe 2.0 x16 slot and two free PCIe 2.0 x4 slots with the default single graphics card installed).
Ports include five USB 2.0 ports, four Firewire "800" ports, dual Gigabit Ethernet, two Mini DisplayPorts and a dual-link DVI port, among others. AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n) and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR is standard.
This Mac Pro is running a clean installation of macOS 10.12 (Sierra). The maximum resolution on this model is 2560x1600.
CONDITION: Good (A few very light scratches on the top of the case. The plastic case latch is starting to act up when you take the case door off but while it is quite secure when closed, it is still very easily removed via the front grille. Overall, no performance issues, dents, or dings.)
ORIGINAL PRICE: $2500
Point of Reference: Apple's cheapest refurbished Mac Pro is $2549 before tax and contains less RAM and less internal storage at the time of this posting.
