I rate my military spec (but gaming) sabretooth motherboard, still going strong

work with or fit a large GeForce video card as a workstation. If anyone has any 
recommendations on a reliable dual lga 1366 motherboard that is not proprietary 
like Dell or HP I would really appreciate it.

It’s basically adobe’s fault. I had to work with someone who only used Adobe 
2015 which doesn’t work with Lion, which is what I was on. Apple only allows 
you to upgrade to the latest version of their OS, so I ended up stuck with 
Sierra. On windows 7 I have none of these problems. I can use whichever version 
of adobe products I want without having to change OS versions or jump through 
any other hoops. I can also upgrade things like video cards/CPUs/Motherboards 
without all the issues you have with Apple systems.
