The Dual 2.7 is a 2 processor machine. Each processor being single core. You can't use a dual-core processor in a previous model machine. They use a different motherboard chipset and are thus incompatible with the older motherboards. For some reason I thought you had a late 2005 G5, my mistake! So your long and short answers are both "No", you can't upgrade an older dual processor to use the newer dual-core chips.
