[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1303740, member: 56379"] Of course video cards for a 5 year-old 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 are no longer available brand new. Apple stopped selling them in 2008 when the Mac Pro 2,1 was introduced. Yes video cards can get used hard. I sold my Mac Pro 1,1 about 6 months again when it was 4.5 years old...and it still had it's original X-1900 video card...still running just fine.:) As far as used video cards (or used computers). Absolutely nothing wrong with them. Yes they are used...but you get them at a reduced price...and they work 100%. WAY BETTER than a brand new "flashed" Windows video card...that will NEVER work 100% as well as a genuine Macintosh video card. I've been using Macintosh computers for 25 years...and I haven't purchased a new Macintosh computer in 15 years. One of my current Mac's is a 2009 8-core Mac Pro...it's running GREAT!!!:) And I purchased a 2nd USED video card for it off e-Bay (now I can runs 4 monitors on my Mac Pro)...and this 2nd used video card is running fine too!:) And guess what...when you buy a used computer...you get a used video card in that computer as well. Nothing wrong with used computers or used video cards!:) I would purchase a "genuine" used Macintosh video WELL BEFORE I would purchase a brand new "flashed" Windows video card for use in a Macintosh. - Nick [/QUOTE]
