Honestly, either contact Apple directly or go to a Mac forum. You won't find much help here on a PC forum.

The comercials say they just work, so I'd imagine it would just work.

JK

I agree with the others, you'll probably want to find a good Mac forum, I don't even know how to turn the things on.

The Mac Pro is socket 771 with a 5000x chipset. Penryn processors that use a 1333FSB should work. The 1600FSB processors will not work.

Socket 771? Isn't the latest socket 775? Maybe I am missing something...

771 is a Xeon socket

------------------------------ Which Chip? Well, it depends on which set of thieving b@stardz you choose to support: The ones who use insider trading to enrich themselves while running their company into the ground, or the ones who illegally pay vendors to not support the first group.

No such thing as a Penryn Mac Pro. The 1st gen Mac Pros all have Woodcrest (Xeon 5100 series) processors. The 2nd gen have Clovertowns and the 3rd gen (8-core) have Harpertowns.
