What is the difference between a 2006 and 2009 MacPro?

Hey guys,

I know the 2009 version has a faster CPU and quicker RAM. But other then that are they pretty much the same?

Reason I'm asking because I bought a used 2006 Mac Pro Quad Core a few days ago and I want to install an eSATA card. Will it work?

Thanks man. But I'm sensing that was a little smart ass. I'm just looking for anything major that is required for newer hardware.
