Really…? I mean, I can find this in any hardware site, youtube, etc…where are the AE tuts?
Exactly my thoughts. Must be a slow week.
Definitely helpful for all those who bought a mac pro, considering the $5,000 one comes with a $200 graphics card.
Very helpful! I bought a mac pro 1.5 years back but the graphics card is already pretty outdated… Since I’m not a very technical genius this really helps in my decision process! Thanks!!
wow, really in-depth thanks a lot, superb quality

Brilliant post thanks so much…!
Pretty helpful even for pc users like me.
thanks
Nice video, i dont really need any help on upgrading my GPU/RAM since i already know the neccesary stuff about it ;D, but i just always find it amazingly fun to watch these videos. :D
I’ve been listning to this video while working. It’s very helpfull. Thanks! Hopefully I can get those last 2gb, (that have been lying around the desk for a year++ back) installed and working soon. It seems once 8gb are installed the voltage for the memory has to be increased in the BIOS, which seems to be a different chapter in this story..
Seems like a great n valueble tus .. but i wish that the TUTS+ staff will consider that some nations like here (Yemen) got a very slow internet connection which makes downloadin such videos really hard .. i wish that u offer the videos in low-definition for such cases :)
Great information for the layman (which is almost everyone). Right at home at aetuts+. And very well presented, with a perfect voice, I’d like to add.
