[QUOTE="mvinyard26, post: 1153538, member: 86584"] Hey Guys So about a year ago, my department inherited an early 2007 mac pro and 2 30" cinema displays (yeah - the dept where the computer was didn't know how to deal with macs and were going to throw it away...SCORE!) Anyways, the video card is dying (brought it to apple store to diagnose) and I need to replace. this gets unnecessarily complicated because of the following points: 1) I have no choice but to order from PC/Mac connection 2) older mac pro is PCI express (not 2.0) 3) I haven't done component compatibility in a while (my imac and macbook pro are happy just the way they are!) 4) HAS to be dual link DVI for the 30" monitor (only using one) I found this at PC connection: [url=http://www.macconnection.com/IPA/Shop/Product/Detail.htm?sku=7999101&cac=Result]Mac Connection - Detail[/url] It doesn't expressly say it's mac compatible, but I feel like I have it right. If yall could sanity check me, and/or suggest something better in the sub $200 - $400 category that will definitely work I'd really appreciate it! [/QUOTE]
