2006 Mac pro Questions


hi everyone. got sick of windows getting worse , worse , went , bought mac pro. got ebay $400 aus , seems great. fast, nice , quiet. but... have few questions new macs. last mac owned in 1995.

proud owner of mac pro (2006) quad core 2.66ghz xeon 12gb ram 1 tb hd , nvidea geforce 7300 gt graphics. refurbished ex-office machine.

questions.

mac says running on 8gb ram. seems 1 bank not working. looked in machine , pulled slot see 3 banks, fitting well. 1 different other 2 (this 1 not working). working ones "smt 4gb ddr ii pc 5300 667 mhz 4096m-fb667 , p6aalo" bank not working given "smt 4gb ddr ii pc 5300 667mhz ecc 4096m-fb667 , 92025h". i'm wondering if "eec" means different mac know year of manufacture seems watch.

next graphics card. looked online , seems ati radeon hd 5770 may boost graphics bit, though lead believe hd 5870 still ok use. opinion knows macs better please.

mac running lion 10.7.5
