[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 903733, member: 56379"] Can I assume you have a 1st generation Mac Pro, with "quad-core " 2.66 processors? If so...I have the same computer (I also have the X-1900 graphics card). I have heard from another member on this forum (who installed an ATI 4870 card in his computer) that the ATI 4870 card works in the 1st generation Mac Pro's. Even though Apple's compatibility specs don't list it. [url=http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB999ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=Nzk2MTAxOQ]ATI Radeon HD 4870 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro (Early 2009 or Early 2008) - Apple Store (U.S.)[/url] By the way...if you can get a Macintosh ATI 4870 card for a Mac Pro for £100 or less...you better snap it up...because that's a great price!:) Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
