I have 2 Mac Pros:
Mac Pro 1,1 - 2 x 2,66 GHz Dual core CPU - 32GB RAM - HD 5770 - Running modified El Capitan with Pike's boot loader
Mac Pro 3,1 - 2 x 2,8 GHz Quad core CPU - 16GB RAM - HD 2600 - Running standard Yosemite

My question is, could I switch the graphics cards and RAM and run BOTH with the following setup:
Mac Pro 1,1 - 2 x 2,66 GHz Dual core CPU - 16GB RAM - HD 2600 - Running modified El Capitan with Pike's boot loader
Mac Pro 3,1 - 2 x 2,8 GHz Quad core CPU - 32GB RAM - HD 5770 - Running standard El Capitan

To simplify, will the 3,1 run El Capitan with the 5770 card and the 1,1 run the modified El Capitan with the 2600 card?

yes what you have listed should work fine :) (although what type of RAM do you have installed in the MP3,1? I have some OWC MP3,1 800Mhz FB-DIMMs here that for some reason wont POST in my 1,1/2,1s if I install more then 1 of said sticks)
