[QUOTE="jabroni5, post: 1248063, member: 147543"] Harry, I think all your points are spot on! How unfortunate that I didn't discover the advantages of the HD4870 before I bought the HD5770. I am absolutely going the GeForce 7300 card route. Also, it was the stock card for Mac Pro 1,1, so it's definitely a good choice. I'm curious about your suggestion to install it in slot 4. I'm not too familiar with using multiple graphics cards. How does that work when you have two graphics cards installed at once? Does the computer recognize and use them both simultaneously...everything being displayed by one card is also being displayed by the other? Does the fact that one card is AMD/ATI and the other is nVidia cause any conflicts? [/QUOTE]
