[QUOTE="AngryRedTicTac, post: 1161631, member: 184241"] Easy one, Apple branded HD 5770. I installed one in my 1,1 and it works perfectly, just make sure you have 10.6.4 or better. The card has a single Dual Link DVI, you'll need a MiniDP to Dual link DVI adapter for the second 30. The card is 250 from apple, I got mine at a local Apple store, they don't generally stock them but they had one in for upgrading new units so I didn't even have to wait for it to ship. Great card, a 5870 would be even cooler, but the cost is obscene, and the 5770 eats everything I throw at it without complaint. It is also WAAAYYYY cooler and quieter than the 1900, and uses a lot less power. You can always go the flashed card route, but the apple tax on the real plug and play cards wasn't enough to get me to have to mess with it. Chad [/QUOTE]
