What year/ model is my mac pro? serial ends with 6R0GP

Thank You Hatter and everyone,

my hardware header simply states "Mac Pro"

I believe I may have replaced the ram in order to have matching sets when beefed up.

Here's what I can tell you:

Mac OSX 10.7.5

Processor 2 x3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

Memory 16 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM

Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256 MB

Model Name: Mac Pro

Model Identifier: MacPro2,1

Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon

Processor Speed: 3 GHz

Number of Processors: 2

Total Number of Cores: 8

L2 Cache (per Processor): 8 MB

Memory: 16 GB

Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz

Boot ROM Version: MP21.007F.B08

SMC Version (system): 1.15f3

Serial Number (system): ending with 6R0GP

Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-001D4F4574B8

So yes, it's a Mac Pro2,1

I could have sworn that I found an article years ago when I was trying to run Logic 9 as 64 bit - that showed my Kenel was 64 - I was unable to find it later. I am clearly not as informed as you. How and where do I find if I have EF 132 or EF164 ?

I found another thread where people with notebooks ugraded their main hard drive to a larger size and they were allowed to upgrade/ download to Mountain Lion. I was hoping to upgrade in order to use the new Logic X. Whatever I have, it works great with Logic 9 running in 64, but I end up using another software when I have a lot of tracks. I am quite amazed as to what Logic 10 is capable. If ML is a pipe dream, then I better start saving my money.

Thank you hatter,

I believe you and I share the same typo difficulties LOL. 🙂 When you say "Maverick" I'm going to assume you meant Mountain Lion.

I'm a bit confused as to why you are referring to Windows Vists (?) I use my Mac only for music software. I consider it my "authoring machine" for running my DAWs (DIgital Audio Workstations). Perhaps you were helping some other person and had me confused with them. If that's the case; bless you for being such a giving person.

Could it be possible that Apple pulled the info on my machine because they plan on not fixing the problem created when making them unable to update to the Mountain Lion OS? You don't need to answer if you don't feel inclined.

Hopefully waiting 12 to 18 months won't make my machine unable to sell if needed.

It does create quite the complication since I use a hyper threaded quad core PC as my streaming computer and the two machines need to match in strength in order to "play well" together. So a slow OS would also be a nightmare. "upgrading" to a stronger machine would then make the recent purchase of the streaming PC obsolete. It's quite the tangled web. Something good will come of this - it always does when things look bleak. It will be an interesting ride. 😉

I appreciate your help!
