According to Ars Technica reports, they found that by a firmware after the break, 2009 Mac Pro can be upgraded to the 2010 model performance. Upgraded camera can support two 6-core Westmere Xeon CPU, faster 1333MHz RAM, adding support for audio output to the Mini DisplayPort interface. These features only in the middle of 2010 models Apple will provide.

Hacker after development script, forced Mac Pro 4,1 models (2009 early paragraph) installed Apple for 2010 years Mac Pro publishing of firmware update, installed Hou, firmware report for Mac Pro 5,1 models (2010 medium-term paragraph), then is easy on can upgrade to faster of Westmere Xeon CPU, however, single nuclear CPU of models can used w series of CPU, and double nuclear CPU models requirements double nuclear QPI of CPU to normal run.

You can upgrade the CPU, so upgrading to faster 1333MHz RAM is naturally no problem. The new firmware also can let Mini DisplayPort HDMI to send audio signals.

Need to be reminded of is that Apple does not support this firmware upgrade, also does not support user replace the CPU, so to their own users to do a good expense of Apple Service ready for an upgrade.
