We are approaching the 2,500 signature mark and need a final push to force Apple to pay attention to our older machines. Please post this link to your social media right now so we can hit that goal before the week ends.

Seeing this momentum grow confirms that I am not the only one feeling abandoned by these restrictive hardware choices. It is heartening to know that so many of you are just as frustrated by this intentional lockout as I am.

why wont you take my money apple? just sell us the drivers already.
Total BS. The hardware is basically the same anyway. Just let us use the card.
Had this machine since day one and it runs like a dream. Being locked out of basic upgrades is just bad business practice.
PLEASE APPLE. We need this update!
really hope they listen this time. i dont have the cash for a new computer and it feels like a slap in the face to loyal customers.

Ridiculous that they force us to buy a whole new machine just for a graphics bump. My 2006 Mac Pro is still a beast but lagging in games.
