The XW8400 and Mac Pro 1,1 are nearly identical systems, as far as both are
based on the Intel Xeon 53XX reference board. They use the same CPUs, the
same RAM, the same bridge chips. The primary difference is the Apple ROM on
the Mac Pro board vs PC BIOS on the XW8400. Oh, and the XW8400 / XW8600

This is like the system I call "The Beast", a XW8400. Dual quad-core Xeon,
16 GB RAM, and the *case* my Lord that thing is massive. The only problem
I've got with this system is the PCI-E is a 1.0 standard, and isn't fully
"forward compatible" with the new standard. (That came out almost
immediatel
Before you get fully to the new build point, take a air canister and a
horse hair / toothbrush to the DIMM sockets, make sure there is no dust on
the connectors? About once every six months to a year, I have to
disassemble my systems and fully clean them. (My dogs bring in *a lot* of

Another amusing anecdote that just came to memory, Microsoft *did* have a
UNIX. Who remembers Xenix? Now that is a blast from the past, haven't
thought about that in decades probably. An official license from AT&T of a
System 7 implementation that Microsoft ported to *8086* Mmmm ... slow.

Sorry Peter,
Got to step in here, there is absolutely no code or relation to UNIX in the
NT kernel. Dave Cutler, the primary architect of the Windows NT system is
an extremely vocal *anti* UNIX advocate. The entire system is actually
designed around Cutler's *previous* operating system, Digital VM
Give AppZapper a try, it is a pay app but I believe they allow you
something like 5 uses free to trial? If that fails, open a Terminal, drop

Might want to try that move to 7 again. However, let me ask, what problems
were you having with 7 that caused you to pull it out? Also, while I am a
very strong Red Hat advocate, I must admit that *desktop* use Ubuntu tends

However, I'm currently completely without car, so would have to Uber my way
to Chicago to buy it out from under you. Probably not worth the trouble to
me.
