Speeds after upgrade:

2026.02.26 → Tried to install Proxmox on it, but damn, at idle it sucks 90W of power… and power costs a lot nowadays, not considering it for 24/7 runtime..
2026.02.12 → New 2x 16gb ram modules arrived, replaced the affected modules, now it seems like working fine.
2026.02.14 → New SSD arrived and it works. Downgraded to Monterey. Have noticed some OS crashes, i think the cause is the RAM, remove affected module, will test further.
2026.02.13 → MacPro arrived. It WORKS! It seems like it have more ram, 64GB but with some ECC errors. Everything was smooth with Monterey macOS but when i upgraded to Sequoia using LegacyPatcher it became very slooooow and it's very noticeable. I think when the new SSD will arrive i will install Monterey to it.
