[QUOTE="brharrow, post: 1603391, member: 332592"] Good or bad I will let you know what happens. Based on what I have researched and think - I expect that it will not work during efi boot (black screen), but should work with the drivers already in the system once finder loads, like it does on a Mac Pro with generic video card. I may have modify a plist file or attempt to modify firmware on the card or something. As a last resort I will create a Windows install on another machine, and then swap in the hard drive to the iMac from experience I am certain I will get a windows desktop eventually. It does take the mac a bit of thinking before it will boot a straight Windows or Linux disk but I have done this on a similar era Macbook Pro and it does eventually. Anyway I can always try another card. [/QUOTE]
