So I acquired this lot of G5's today for nothing, great score huh. I'm trying to see what I have here. I need some help identifying them. How do I know if it's a dual core or dual processor? I know a couple are missing the video cards, and all but one is missing the hard drive. One of the six is working. I'm hoping I can get a couple working units out of these for the kids. Here they are. #6 is the one that works. I also noticed some will take 4 sticks of Ram and some 8. Thanks in advance.

Those all appear to be either single processor or dual processor models. The dual core models have PCI-e cards instead of PCI or PCI-X and APG cards.
 
A single will only have one heat sink. On the model stickers it will give a clock speed (e.g. 1.8 GHz) and will have just the speed if it is a single. If it is a double will say DP for dual processor or DC for dual core.
