Like others in the forums, upgraded Mac Pro, July 2007, to Quad Core using the Intel X5355 2.66GHz CPUs. Eight core machines have a different smc firmware to the Mac Pro 1.1, and this is available from Apple as a download.

Question is any advantage upgrading the smc firmware from version 1.7f10 on the 1.1 Mac Pro to the eight core version on the Mac Pro 2.1?
