It’s name is iTechGuy. It can answer many hard-core questions. It also provides answer from ChatGPT as a comparison. I tried asking about some very difficult knowledges about Mac Pro and mostly it has better answers than ChatGPT. It’s free of use for a certain number of questions and you can pay once for unlimited usage.

iMac Pro 2017 SSD has a T2 chip controlling two flash modules. Those modules are compatible with the modules used in Mac Pro 2019. So you can buy Mac Pro 2019 SSD kit to be used in your iMac Pro. First you need to use some tool to open the computer case. Note that after you separate the screen panel from the body, behind the display there are still cables connecting to motherboard. So remember not to separate the display panel too far away from the body otherwise you will break those cables. Then you need to disconnect a bunch...

Mac Pro 6,1 can work with max 128GB DDR3 ECC memories. We sold lots of those memories. We do extensive testing before we ship each set. It's not practical to test every set using a real Mac Pro. Mac Pro is expensive and shouldn't be used as testing device too often. So what shall we do? Actually, instead of testing memories on real Mac Pro, we test it on a PC board. The most compatible motherboard for such memories is Intel x79 boards. We build a PC on such motherboard and run Mac OS on it. Once Mac OS can...
