[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1318180, member: 56379"] Yes that is possible...there were both a: - dual-processor 2.5ghz PM G5 - quad-core 2.5ghz PM G5 And just in case...there was NO "dual-core" 2.5ghz PM G5. So the top photo is probably of the dual-processor 2.5ghz PM G5. HTH, - Nick p.s. FYI...the dual-processor 2.5ghz PM G5 has a liquid cooling system that can be problematic...and is usually best to avoid. Most other PM G5 models just had a "conventional" air-cooling system via fans. The reason why the liquid cooling systems are problematic is (besides the obvious "electricity + liquid" doesn't mix rule);)...is that the power supply for PM G5's is located in the bottom of the PM G5 case. So any leaky liquid has a good chance of "frying" the power supply. [/QUOTE]
