Question

Everymac doesn't list my Mac Pro 2x2.66 Quad-Core Intel Xeon

I can't find my Mac Pro model on everymac.com.
It's a Mac Pro 2x2.66 Quad-Core Intel Xeon.
I am trying to find out whether it's a Nehalem model or not.
Is there any other place that lists all models/specs?

Thanks,
Hakan

Mac Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.2), 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, OS X (10.6.2)

I don't see what page or link so can't say where on Everymac you looked, or why you didn't look under Apple specs.

Apple System Profile - good place to start

MacPro1,1
FBDIMM 67MHz
1333MHz front side bus
2 x 2.66 was only available in 2006-7
2009 had 2 x 2.66 8-core / DDR3 1033 / GT120

Thank you,
I did check my system profiler before I posted, but I couldn't find my model on Everymac.
Their search for serial number didn't work either.
I wanted to know if my machine is a Nehalem, as I often see that name being used in discussions and articles.
Following your Apple links it was easy to find my model using the serial.
The processor is a Build-To-Order option, which explains why I couldn't find it immediately.
The Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5500 seems to be a Nehalem processor, even if it's not stated here:

Hi swedishstargazer,

Your Mac Pro definitely has Nehalem processors.

The Intel Xeon 5500 series of processors was featured for the first time in the 2009 8-Core Nehalem Mac Pros:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/apple-mac-pro-nehalem-xeon,7162.html

The standard 8-Core configuration had two 2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5500 series processors.

The CTO options included upgrading to 2.66GHz processors (which you have), and 2.93GHz processors (which I have).

Regards,

Bill
