[QUOTE="johnodd4, post: 1630682, member: 331386"] Excuse me: The mac pro was the g5 before it became intel mac pro. look at the old apple introductions on it on youtube they even refer to it as the Mac Pro G5. as for processors try this The xserve processors are way cheaper and will fit the mac pro g5 model but you need the heatsink and the heatsink compound because you have to convert the processor from a xserve flat heatsink to a mac pro g5 heatsink there only 50.00 and you can even get 1.8 ghz ones cheaper then that. the 700 to 800 is total if you want to have someone purchase the processors and install them for you because the cooling system on that model usually was liquid cooled if the model you have isn't liquid cooled then its a upgraded 1.8 ghz to a 2 ghz [/QUOTE]
