This page says that a 2.5ghz machine is "PCI" Yours is a PowerMac 7,3 this based on the info of the tag inside the door that you relayed here. In the Hardware tab, in Hardware Overview, it will say that your machine is a PowerMac 7,3 if it is an AGP machine, otherwise, it will say Powermac 11,2 if a PCIe graphics machine. The mid-2004 2.5 GHz dual processor machine is a PCI-X machine that uses AGP graphics.Īs directed, open your System Profiler (About This Mac/More Info). Under "about this mac" mine says its 2.5GHZ. So far I have not got a straight answer on this (from others) I don't like to waste others time with irrelevant info. Unlike others, I have attained my status in these forums almost solely in this PowerMac forum. Understood, but at some point you have to trust that I understand the issues with regard to the information that you have provided. No dramatic difference, no palpable difference. This seller has the same flashed X800XT (FireGL), but at a better price.īTW, as I alluded before, you won't notice any improvement over the Ultra with the X800XT.Īll the testing that I have done, as well as hands on use, gives the same result. The OEM Mac Edition Radeon X800XT looks like this. It does need, however, power to be jumped from the optical drive to the card to be useable. It can be used in a Mac because the ROM has been replaced with a Mac ROM. The second card that you linked, the X800XT, is a flashed (converted) PC version.
POWER MAC G5 MODELS MAC OS X
So what is compatible with the G5 but more ram than the current 256mb?ĭid you look at the list on the webpage of mine that I linked?ĪGAIN, No card other than those that I listed can be used.ĪGAIN, No card greater than 256 MB VRAM is availble or can be used.ĪGAIN, you need an AGP graphics card that is 8X AGP Mac OS X compatible or it will not work. one that is compatible with my machine should be less I would think?Īlso, even If I could find a compatible 1G card, I think it would be like having a Ferrari and only using 1st gear you know? cuz I would be bottle necked at the processors. So my question is, if a 1G card is 270.00.
POWER MAC G5 MODELS UPGRADE
but I cannot upgrade the OS cuz leopard requires Intel processor. OWC has a Radeon 5770 with 1G of ram for 270.00īut this card is not compatible with my machine. The card it came with is GeForce 6800 Ultra with 256mb ram.
I guess "computer years" are similar to dog years □
they are in "groups of three" small squiggly lines.Īpple store says they think its video card but they will not support it because its "vintage". It will boot in safemode but I get lines across the display. I was not booting and wouldn't shut down.
