[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1541554, member: 42497"] You can upgrade to 2.66GHz quads 5355 CPU's. Try and get a matched pair, i.e.identical serial numbers. They do come up on eBay from time to time. Be aware the cost may be too much considering the 32bit EFI which will always limit the 1.1 to Lion natively, although there are a number of work around to run the Mac Prop to what is known as a Hackintosh. And alas it will always remain a 32bit. No way around that or we would have all done it. Just Google CPU upgrade Mac Pro 1.1 as there are many online tutorials. Not the easiest job in the world and purchase the correct 8" torque driver. [url]http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1433635[/url] [/QUOTE]
