Is my MacPro 5,1 single or dual socket?

mac-pro

My MacPro 5,1 is running a 3.33 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3. Is this a single or a dual socket system? Thanks.


Solution 1:

Take the side off & look ;)

A 6-core is probably a single socket, a 12 would be a dual.

You can also tell from About this Mac > Memory.

Dual socket has 8 RAM slots, single has 4.

The sockets are on a daughter-card which slides out & is replaceable/interchangeable.
