[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1407434, member: 42497"] And be cautious about changing the CPUs if you go that way. Am writing a paper on Mac Pros and upgrading. The problem with the 4.1 is the CPU's Apple used are 2mm lower than other processors. As a result when you tighten down the heat sink the daughter card shatters. Apple used these CPU's on their own and they are not replaceable with Dell, HP etc without some work. There is a work around using small washers to build the 2mm up, however then the fan cable is a little short and will not connect without replacing with a longer cord. [/QUOTE]
