Nope. The firmware is only need to upgrade a 2009 Mac Pro to 2010 specs.

How much did you pay? I have seen some machines locally that are 2009’s and about $425 USD.

Thanks LDS, greatly appreciate the info from both of you, as well as others. The current one I have now since I learned of this great upgrade, is a 2.8 single CPU, 2010, which I paid $300 for, plus the $90 for the CPU, and running perfect. I didn't think about the single CPU thingee, and realized I had sold my 2008 2.8 dual for a single CPU 2010. The 2009's seam like to much of a hassle with the de-lidding. So now I purchased a 2010 2.4 Dual (CPU), I got for $300 as well. Will put back the Original CPU on the 2010 in just upgraded, and put back the original CPU and unload that one. I ordered another X5690, and will put both of those in the 2010, 2.4 dual tray.

Re: Worth replacing 2008 Mac Pro for upgraded 2010 Mac Pro?
Good evening everyone,
Okay I made the upgrade 3.46(2x), X5690's, running 64ram. I read somewhere on here or perhaps the Mac Forum. But not sure exactly how much ram support for the X5690's ?, and I'm sure the W3690 is half that I believe. Also max the ram VS running triple channel instead ? Thank you all kindly.

I would run it triple channel as it also makes CPU more efficient -- and 64GB today is plenty.. if it's not enough you would know, then performance would not be as important as getting things done.
