1,1 To 2,1

It adds Intel microcode support for "Clovertown" Xeon processors like the X5355 and X5365.

is it worth doing anyway?

I can't think any downside, but outside of 2007 CPU support there isn't any upside either.

If you won't be upgrading CPUs to Clovertowns, stay with your current firmware. After upgrade you won't be able to run AHT shipped with your machine in case if you'd need it.

I'm surprised that it works for you, but if you say so, I stand corrected.
Mine 4,1 after upgrading do 5,1 and CPU to Westmere doesn't want to. My second MP, 1,1 upped to 2,1, doesn't want to run ASD 3s108 (this version supports 1,1 but not 2,1) unless downgraded back to 1,1 firmware.

I am going to eventually upgrade my CPUs, and I found a blog which tells you how to flash the firmware since the original thread on another forum site is no more.

I won this MacPro 1,1 and I don't have the ATH cd to test, could anyone please upload this or indicate some site that has? Thanks!

This blog may have the information you need to find the correct AHT for a 1,1... http://rivenbyfive.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/download-and-run-apple-hardware-test.html

Thanks Daniel for the answer, I found this site yesterday but try to follow was very confusing since the terminal commands are general and not specifical> I was hoping to get the ATH cd from one member on this forum.
