I need to buy ram and I have already bought ram that doesnt fit once, which was an expensive mistake.

Powermac g5 dual 2ghz :
Has TWO individual single core processors each in their own socket.
Powermac g5 dualcore 2ghz :
Has ONE processor with a dual core in one socket.
Look up the model/type number printed on your computer at Apple's website to find out which one you have.

I odn't know what in the worl the guy above me is talking about, but a G5 mac had a dual core PPC processor (why did he even mention intel?) From the looks of it, you are describing two identical systems. Powermac G5 with 2 ghz dual core PPC processor.

In your case, no. Every Mac Pro (G5) comes with two dualcore Xeon processors. For PCs, "dual" and "dualcore" are two different things. Dual means you would have two 2GHz processors in your system, while dualcore would mean you have a single 2GHz dualcore processor.
Whomever sold you the wrong memory should take it back....

relies upon on what different specs are in that G5, yet yah i could say its in all likelihood a competent deal. I have been given a G5 off of ebay for 500 greenbacks and that i like it! way extra suitable than paying 2500 for a clean one that's for helpful! appreciate it dude!

Look in the Apple menu > About this Mac. The pop-up window should show which PPC your Mac has. I'd contact the seller and see if they would replace the chip with the right one.
You can get some from here http://www.macsales.com/ they have lifetime warranties on the RAM they sell and if for some reason the chip is bad they will replace it with a new one.

Here's the truth:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Macintosh_G5
As one or two said, it's the Powerpc cpu.
As for the mononic comment that it's a xeon, that's a mac pro, NOT a G5. The above article says it all.

No, I don't think so. Dual in Macs normally refers to the Dual Intel Cores... same with Dual Core.
