[QUOTE="plumpjack, post: 1506341, member: 298978"] Really appreciate this. Thank you. Unfortunately I still don't get why, if it was genuine, it would carry different model numbers on [a] the box - Model No. A1289 and [b] the rear of the tower - Model No. A1186. Also the EMC Number on mine 2314-2. Doesn't this suggest something amiss? Can a 2008 Mac Pro be upgraded or hacked in some way to accommodate 2010 Westmere processors, thus making a 5,1 out of a 3,1 [or whatever the 2008 model was]? And how come the serial number doesn't register anywhere? It all seems very odd to me.[/b] [/QUOTE]
