It is likely that the OP's 2006 Mac Pro is still running a 32-bit operating system at present. Therefore, it cannot run CS5 at all unless the OP upgrades (updates) the OS to a 64-bit one. And CS5 requires MacOS 10.5.7 or higher just to even run at all. So, even if the 2006 Mac Pro is running a 64-bit OS, the OS that it is currently running is likely to be of an older version than the 10.5.7 required to run CS5 at all.
All of the Intel processors used in the Macs are 64-bit capable. Unfortunately, that 2006 Mac Pro is almost certainly of version 1.1, the very first released version of the Intel-powered line. Therefore, it cannot be upgraded to a video card that can use the GPU acceleration feature of MPE.
