I installed iPC 10.5.6 PPF5 and I didn't see a SMBIOS like I did in Leo4All v3. Now my computer thinks it's a Mac Mini, instead of a Mac Pro(the one I wanted), Any Ideas on How to fix this?

Use the resolver or SMBiosEFI. But as you got Chamelion 2 installed: use the SMBIOS plist. You can write anything you want into it. Also you don't need any patched kext with it, that will be overwriten by software update (One step nearer than the original).
Just the original Apple one will do.

But why a Mac Pro? We don't have Xeon machines. Change it to iMac 8,1 or 9,1.
For info look at geekbench results: (http://browse.geekbench.ca/)
and you can have any hardware fake you want for the plist.
Also see http://www.everymac.com/ for specs on Macs.

i tried to copy yours but it says I do not have sufficient privileges... what's the Terminal command for move? i could use root privileges to get it there
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~edit~~~~~~~~~~~~
i dragged it out of that folder and remade it a .plist, gonna see if it works now
