For your MAC, you need to ask Apple about processor support. Apple has requested that all inquiries regarding their platform be directed to them.

thank you I Will,

but in general talking about matched pair in my queastion, do you know about it?

[AlHill]

It depends on the motherboard requiremensts and if the processors have to have the same stepping.

Look under "ordering and compliance" here:
