Uncle_Pinny Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Quicky: 2006 2.66Ghz mac pro needs new logic board. Should I not be able to find a reasonably priced one to replace am I able to put in a NEWER logic board from a more recent Mac Pro. So question is can I take out my faulty 2006 2.66Ghz logic board and replace with a 661-4449 820-2128-A 2.8Ghz/3.0Ghz logic board (early 2008 model).... I guess it all comes down to whether my 2.66 xeons will work within the newer board? Same with the memory although I guess that's less of an issue.
