Much easier than on a mini!
That's a pretty spectacular upgrade in performance. Are you considering adding another CPU or is the dual CPU daughter board a different board?

no the one cpu mac pro has a one cpu socket.
I would need to spend a bundle to go to dual cpu's/.
but 9950 geekbench to 15264 is really good. this processor is really a nice upgrade.
BTW you are one of my online buddies that inspired me to do this upgrade.
I about cr@pped myself when I got some cotton stuck on the cpu board pins, but a good strong magnifying glass and a tweezers saved the day. Along with some canned air to fluff up the cotton for the tweezers to grab.

Little old me?
If only Mr Breeden still had his forums up at XLR8YOURMAC...
As a matter of fact, you might wanna submit a report for the CPU upgrade database there. You can send an email to Mr Breeden at the address on this page - http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/cpucards.html
