Q: If I buy a quad-core mac pro will I be able to install a second cpu to make it a 8-core? Do the quad-core and 8-core mac pros have different motherboards or are they the same?

A: No, you cannot install another CPU. The design of the motherboards for each machine may be different, but even if they aren't, it's not nearly as simple as adding another CPU.

Waiting for Ivy
While we’re waiting for the next iPad to be announced – hopefully sometime in the first week of March – let’s sit back and speculate about the timeframe for the next versions of Macintosh models. Shipping in April are the next generation of Intel processors, code named Ivy Bridge. New Macs should soon follow.

The new Ivy Bridge processors (CPU) will still carry the Core-i series naming scheme. This includes the low- to mid-line i5, and high-end i7 (looks like the i3 is gone). These are going to be available in dual-core and quad-core configurations. The delivery date for desktop chips is April, with laptop chips arriving in May. The supposition is then that there should be new desktop Macs sometime late April and new laptop updates near the end of May or beginning of June.

Only Apple knows which Macs will get updated first – and they’re not talking…yet. If Apple still has plans for the Mac Pro workstation-class

(2 diggs) Mac Pro Quad-Core 3GHz vs. Power Mac G5 1.8GHz Dual erikvlie I figured the Mac Pro 3GHz quad-core would be much faster than my old G5 dual 1.8GHz, but it turned out differently. I ran some tests and found the G5 fares well --or the Mac Pro fares bad-- when you compare these two in real-world circumstances.
