Synaesthesia Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Do you mean a Mac Pro? Or a Hackintosh? What does it say when you click the Apple button then "About this Mac"? There's no such thing as a G5 on socket 775. You can't exchange a G5 for a Quad Core Xeon. You can exchange a Core 2 Duo for a Quad Core Xeon, if you have the right motherboard.

dyrdymal Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 You're a lucky owner of Dual PowerPC processor Mac ;-) And you'll need to stick to PowerPC (Intel won't work...) Anyway - your setup isn't that bad (I wish I have something like this ;-)). Have fun with your Mac! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
