Research notes (unverified)
- Graphics cards are PCIe cards that owners often replace; configurations cover only the cards Apple sold with the machine.
- The 8-core (two quad-core Xeon) build-to-order Mac Pro of 2007. 32-bit EFI firmware: the stock installer needs a 32-bit EFI boot shim.
- Most Linux boots reporting MacPro2,1 show the MacPro1,1 board ID (Mac-F4208DC8): those are 2006 machines flashed with 2,1 firmware.
- Audio is a Realtek ALC889A codec on every observed machine.
