We at MacStrategy personally believe, and predict, that Apple will drop support for cheese-grater Mac Pros completely in macOS 10.16 or even as early as macOS 10.15 (due autumn/fall 2019), so you may want to watch spending large amounts of money to get a Metal supported video card for 10.14 Mojave, just to find Apple drops support for your actual Mac within 18 months!
NOTE: You will also need at least OS X 10.8.5 and an Apple ID to be able to obtain Mojave from the Mac App Store. Q. How can I check what specifications my computer has or graphics capability it has? Q. Which Mac do I have? A. You can check 'Processor', 'Memory' and macOS/OS X/Mac OS X 'Version' by going to Apple menu > About This Mac > Overview tab if necessary (hint - clicking on the version number will give you the 'build' number).
A. To check your Mac's 'Model Name' go to Apple menu > About This Mac > Overview tab if necessary > check for the computer name in the top line e.g. 'MacBook Pro' (this can only be checked with OS X 10.7 or later)
A. To check your Mac's model date version go to Apple menu > About This Mac > Overview tab if necessary > check the details after the Model Name e.g. 'Early 2015' (this can only be checked with OS X 10.7 or later) - to be more specific and exact you can check what 'Model Identifier' your Mac has by:

• If you are running Mac OS X 10.6 or earlier go to Apple menu > About This Mac > click the 'More Info…' button > (the System Profiler application will open) select 'Hardware' in the top left > check what it says for 'Model Identifier' on the right.

Download Java For Windows 10

1. Mac App Store = only software downloaded and installed from the Mac App Store will run (highest security)
2. Mac App Store and identified developers = only software downloaded and installed from the Mac App Store or that have been digitally signed by an authorised developer will run (medium security - default)

Does Mojave include Personal Web Sharing? A. No. But the underlying software needed (Apache) is still included in macOS. However, you can no longer use Apple's own macOS Server to configure this so you will need to install/purchase third party products e.g. MAMP, or get jiggy with Terminal commands for free. Q. Does Mojave include Xgrid Sharing? A. No. Just like OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and later it has been removed. Q. Does Mojave include Java? A. No. Java is available to download from Oracle - see our Java article for more information and download links to obtain the latest free Java software. Q.

We're working on an article about that - check back soon. Q. What should I do to prepare and be ready for installing Mojave? A. See this article.
