The last Powermac came in 3 flavors: 2.0, 2.3, and *dual* 2.5 GHz.
All were *dual* core G5 processors.
So the top of the line, with 2 dual-core 2.5 GHz units, was a quaddie.

Yep. The "dual, dual" description is confusing, but that's the beast.

Re: Questions for Giving my MBP to a friend for Christmas?

I agree. Drop the detritus and do clean installs. Move over only your documents, and leave behind all the preferences, settings, caches, etcetera. Take screen shots of the preferences and settings, but rethink each one as you set up the new Mac.

When I get a new or "new to me" Mac, I only move over the "must have" "daily drivers", and add any other app only when I find a need for it and I have checked for updates.

That way you don't move over any damaged or patched up changes and updates. You also get rid of any incompatibilities or corrupted crap.

You will end up with more free space, and a faster Mac.

BTW, leaving all your apps on the old Mac, is not right. It is done all the time, but it a violation of the terms of use.

I can understand that but this one is well written and it takes you through
the steps. I'll help if needed. BTW It's actually TestDisk that you
download and install: this includes PhotoRec.

In OS X each drive (volume) has its own Trash folder. When you delete any
file, it is moved to the Trash folder *on that drive*. If Trash does not
already exist, it is created. (There's a Terminal command to stop this and
force immediate deletion, which I've mentioned before.)

You need to Empty Trash with the card still mounted to free the space.

This is how OS X works. I don't know how what you did ever worked (without
emptying Trash).
