  • With the Mac Pro's structure dominated by the central heat sink, we'd best start by peeling parts off.

  • A clamp and four screws hold each of the dual AMD FirePro D300 graphics cards in place.

  • Amidst the usual processing power and cost comparison with a similar home-built desktop PC, these graphics cards may be the key to Apple finally undercutting homebrew systems on a pure power basis.

  • While this stacks up fairly well for current Apple GPU offerings, the proprietary nature, and lack of an elegant external GPU option, may age this device before its time.
