   Hello All!   
      
   As above I have this which is a twin Xeon quad core currently running El   
   Capitan.   
      
   Now I do not use this system oftenn but when ever I power it up it always says   
   that there is an upgrade to the O/S to Sierra (or similar) but looking at the   
   support docs for it says it is not for PM 2008 only from 2009 onwards but does   
   not specify what will prevent it working.   
      
   Now I know that a major feature ?, is Siri but as I do not use a microphone    
   and   
   rarely a headset this feature has no use for me and the other mentioned   
   features appear to be very minor I am wondering what will happen if I upgrade   
   the O/S.   
      
   Any one tried it on this model?   
      
   Another thing is that I am cosidering swapping out OSX for Linux via a CD or   
   doing a dual boot.   
      
   Will this work as I have yet to see the CD draw opening. Like I say not often   
   used - ever bought it more to see what OSX was about.   
      
   Failing this may just put it up on Ebay and sell it off as my primary system   
   has a AMD FX8350 8? core running my BBS, Web and FTP servers and a mainframe   
   access system or two as well as a Cobol development system or two.
