I am considerring changing over to a MacPro. Can this graphics card be fitted in an MacPro? If its an Apple-made card, then yes. If not then no, it can't be fitted to an Mac Pro. Apple in its incredible ignorance made the Mac Pro requiring a gfx card with EFI firmware. This gives you the choice of around 5 different gfx card - all made and sold by Apple. You can't use generic gfx card in a Mac Pro. Benjamin |

8800 GTS and Apple MacPro
You are asking in the wrong Newgroup. Go to the Apple Newsgroups. This one
concerns PC's. (Note: since you asked nicely, though, I'll answer here. I own both high end PC's and Macs. You can ONLY use the Apple version of the 8800 GT, which is specially produced for Apple by nVidia and uses an EFI based control, NOT BIOS controlled like a PC's.) So you have to buy the card from Apple. -- --DaveW "Bryan" wrote in message ... I am considerring changing over to a MacPro. Can this graphics card be fitted in an MacPro? Thanks Bryan |
