It sounds like you have a mac pro 1,1 like mine with Quad core 2.66GHz processors. It is correct about the 32 bit EFI on these systems but there is a workaround with a re-written bootloader for the MacPro 1,1 that will enable you to run El Capitan (last OS before Sierra) flawlessly on your Mac Pro.

Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion


You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. Mavericks is a free download.


Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks


To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

- I would remove the 2x512, they don't add or make a difference other than 6-DiMMs is not idea, 8 would be. $75 for your 8GB and then you will need some other items like a new graphic card and disk drives.

I'd go with some new drives for system, media and editing. WD Black are popular as are SSDs now

- because a good idea and time to invest in a new system drive and keep the old one as is for backup for now and clone the new system over later.

For best performance on Mac Pro, install memory in risers symmetrically

The Mac Pro comes with two memory riser cards, each with four DIMM slots. With a total of eight slots, you can add up to 16 GB of memory.

Note: DIMMs must be installed in pairs of equal size from the same vendor. For instance, you must not have one or three DIMMs on either riser at any time. Additionally, two DIMMs from different vendors should not be combined and used as a pair.

Other configurations of DIMM pairs are still compatible with Final Cut Studio, but may not achieve the same performance levels as when DIMM pairs are installed on both risers evenly.
