So what is "Mac Pro" in this now? The case and the power supply?

well the cpu, ram, storage, and video card were never made by apple anyway. the case, motherboard, and other various hard bits and (maybe most importantly) operating system are still apple.

If you want ultimate speed then take the RAM module out of Slot 4 because that CPU natively wants a triple-channel arrangement
