I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth. In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus. |

A quick look at the logic board to look for that "open cpu socket" would certainly confirm matters (either way). - Nick - Computer slow, too many "beachballs", read this: Beachballs - Computer seems slower than it used to?

Not many Mac Pro owners do this (even though with some models it is supposed to be possible). I used to have a Quad-Core 2.66ghz 1st generation Mac Pro that I was thinking of upgrading to 8-cores (3.0ghz)...but at the time the cpu's were too expensive to make it worth while.
