| Mac Pro Upgrade?
I need to purchase a new Mac, it has to be a Mac PRo as I need the PCIe slots. I jan afford the Quad Core just about, but Iw as thinking, after the warranty is out, could I theoretically upgrade the CPU by either obtaining the 3.2 or better still throw another one in to make an 8 core? Nasty idea I know, but it is a better alternative than breaching the EULA, or even worse switching to the dark side.

Theoretically, yes, you can upgrade the processor(s). In reality, it's not a simple as switching the processors out sometimes. Here's a few links to documents about processor upgrades (found with a super-simple Google search of "mac pro upgrade processor"): http://www.o0o.it/pro/ http://www.anandtech.com/Mac/showdoc.aspx?i=2832&p=6 http://www.everymac.com/systems/appl...rocessors.html
