[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1704965, member: 56379"] If you aren't using any Apple monitor's…then we can skip this part. It only applies if you had an Apple 30" Cinema Display. If you're using other monitors with a DVI port or HDMI port…then all you need is this (per monitor): [URL]http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=5106[/URL] [URL]http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=12742[/URL] The Radeon 5770 and 5870 were some of the last "official" video cards used by Apple in Mac Pro's. The 5870 is roughly 2x the performance of the 5770. It is possible to "plug & play" some Windows video cards in Mac Pro's. But there really isn't a complete list of compatible Windows cards as far as I know. You kind of have to "hunt & peck" via internet searches. And individual recommendations form users. - Nick p.s. I misspoke regarding the video adapter & ADC port above with older Apple monitors. There are actually two different $99 video adapters Apple sold. One was for much older Apple monitors…and one for the 30" Apple monitor. As I mentioned. If you have no Apple monitors…we can skip this part of the conversation.:) [/QUOTE]
