the x5365 best processor can upgrade machine. i'd recommend upgrading x5355s(2.66ghz) or x5365s (3.0ghz). if go x5355s slaeg variants latest stepping released , run cooler earlier revisions of chip. i'd recommend reading through following forum:

additionally, can upgrade firmware on machine mac pro 2,1 firmware processors identified system (also people had kernel panics on versions of os x until upgraded 2,1 firmware):
