[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1782341, member: 56379"] No problem. Just wanted to be sure we were talking about the same thing. A really cool upgrade you can do with a 2006 Mac Pro is upgrade it to 8 cores (replace the 2 dual core CPU's with 2 quad-core CPU's)...and do what Lisa mentioned...upgrade to newer OS's (via firmware change). But...both of these upgrades can "brick" or damage the computer beyond repair. So you got to be very careful & do things correctly. I did the CPU upgrade at least 4-5 years ago (and upgrade CPU cost wasn't too bad). The same CPU's now should be dirt cheap!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
