[QUOTE="Umbro, post: 353228, member: 28736"] Hi there everybody, I got a problem that hopefully someone hear can help me on, I've got a Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP-HC 30-inch Monitor arriving tomorrow morning but I think my G5's graphic card isn't up to the job for full resolution. The card i have is the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra that came with the machine. I've been trying to find a current upgrade card that's PCI-X rather than PCI-E of which there seems to be plenty. So my question is does anybody know what card i need (i really haven't got a preference to make) thats going to run the 30" screen. So far i've phoned Apple technical support, and to be honest for what help i got i might aswell of asked the bloke down the pub. I've tried an Apple reseller who told me she thought there was "a company called ATI or something that might make a card" so not much help there either. I've tried Ebay for an second-hand card out of a machine that superseeded my model, no joy. And i've been googleing for about 48 hours and i've started getting the "are you still on that B*****y computer' looks from my wife. I've included a screen shot of my G5's spec mines the 1.8GHz, the machine was bought in May 04 So any help would be gratefully received. [ATTACH=full]5222[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
