I checked, and it looks like I bought Xeon X5355 2.66GHz/8M/1333 Quad-Core Processors SLAEG. Cost me $55.00 for the pair in May of 2014. I think I went with the SLAEGs because their idle power consumption is lower. I would have to go back and check to see if that was the reason. They’re still G0 stepping, I think.
Do you follow the MacPro 1,1 thread on MacRumors? That’s where I got all my information.
