Can a Mac Pro be upgraded to a dual processor?
The 3,1 single-processor Mac Pro can be upgraded to dual-processor by adding a second CPU and appropriate heat sink. The CPUs must match including sSpec, so either get a second CPU that matches your existing CPU, or get two matching CPUs. For the 1,1 to use Clovertown CPUs properly, it needs a firmware flashed to 2,1.
Can a Mac Pro 4.1 be swapped for a 5.1 CPU?

What kind of RAM does a Mac Pro 5, 1 have?
5,1 Mac Pros shipped with 1333 RAM even when paired with a Nehalem (1066 only) processor. As shipped, the RAM runs at 1066 because of the CPU. However, if you upgrade to a 1333-capable CPU, your RAM will run at 1333 after an NVRAM reset.
