Thanks for the advice David, I totally agree with you on that view.
Thing is, this is a HPC cluster where performance is of most importance
and there are a number of those improvements in the later firmwares.
Cheers,

The firmware on the cards are rather old and could need an update
Perhaps, if it's not broken, don't fix it. I get the impression that
a lot of people are spending a lot of time regularly upgrading the
firmware of their machines for no reason other than that a newer
version is available. This, perhaps, is asking for trouble.
I'm sure this is not the advice you were hoping for, probably not even
advice that is welcome, but I think it's wise.
