[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 674640, member: 42497"] For graphics card see if you can find an ATI Radeon 9600 Mac Pro with 128/256MB VRAM at a reasonable price. 9600 do not have a fan, just heat sink and are lots cooler than 9800's. There are lots of 9800's about but be aware there has been many, many reported fan failures in MDD models. You can check this out at Apple Discussions and go to MDD and FW800 forums. USB2 can be flaky, Suggest find out what chipset is on the card and look for drivers. [/QUOTE]
