Mac Pro technical notes: Processors are upgradeable, model string identifier, more

CNET staff

We have some unconfirmed notes from the Mac Pro service manual:

  • The Mac Pro ships with Mac OS X 10.4.7
  • The value of the computer model machine identifier string is MacPro1,1.
  • The Xeon processors are socketed, using dual 771 pin LGA sockets. This means that the processors may be upgradeable
  • Airport antennae are located on the bottom of the machine, covered by plastic.
  • The Mac Pro is the first Intel-based Mac to have an Intel-native version of Mac OS X 10.4.x Server available as a custom option.
