[QUOTE="hype.it, post: 35265, member: 4085"] Stock AGP Graphics cards will not work in a Desktop Mac. 1. The Apple uses a propriety DVI socket known as ADC (Apple Display Connector), although there is a standard DVI also. The ADC also supplies the Apple Display with power, signals to configure the monitor; change it's brightness, colour and all. Plus you can shut down the system using a clever touch sensitive button, as found on Cube's. 2. Besides the AGP slot, the card itself is slightly different as it has a slot for drawing additional power from the motherboard, unlike it's PC sibling that uses a standard device power port. 3. Propriety Firmware... At one time, people used to flash the card so it'll work. But with new cards, i haven't seen this done. Dunno why. [/QUOTE]
