I think:
I have the original MacPro (1,1) from 2006 and it came with 4GB of RAM. I've since installed a total of 8GB. I don't understand when you say its limit is 8GB. It can be upgraded to 32GB and I'm thinking of doing just that. It's still a wonderful machine and I'm using it daily for heavy duty work like Avid editing. Except for occasional application freezes (not with Avid!), it runs well and I have no need to replace it. The app freezes might be minimized when I increase the RAM to 32GB.
