I think you have the highest score of Mac pro 5,1 that I have seen, below is another one close to your machine on primate lab benchmark...

Yeh I agree it's a bit confusing... everywhere I've seen listed the memory speed is 8x or 1066MHz, but on my EVGA SR-2 board with everything on auto/defaults it lists at 1333MHz which is 10x.
As you can see from my other GB2 results with everything on default stock settings OSX recognizes it as 1333MHz.

Ok so the mystery further unfolds... when installed in a genuine mac pro the memory speed shows as 1066MHz
Hi
Resurrecting a thread, as I'm about to flash and cpu upgrade a 4,1. I have a chance to buy these x5679, but as there's so few people who've done so I would like to know more.
How do we know about the memory speed when these are put into an actual mac?
May I know is there any reason for you to pick this CPU? It's cheap?
^^^^They should work fine. The only downside I see is that the max RAM speed is 1066MHz vs. 1333MHz for the other three PNs you mentioned. They are rated @ 3.2GHz
