[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1045441, member: 38864"] I haven't read of anything like that. Unless mine was modified in advance (and assuming it even is a re-flashed one, I'm not 100% sure on that), then no. Yes. The second slot is essentially the fan and exhaust porting out the back. Hmmm... I'm not really sure about this. Here's what Everymac has as the specs: I don't know what is meant exactly by "double-wide". I think there was no actual port in what otherwise would have been the next slot up, so I think they just mean that you can use a big card like this 4870 without covering up a usable slot. If so, then you probably can use 2 cards... IF the x1900 doesn't take 2 slots nor have auxiliary power cables feeding to it. The card about $200, then another 20 for the power cables since they weren't included. I'm going to see if I can more definitively determine if this is an actual "Apple" card, or a PC one that was flashed. [/QUOTE]
