Re: My Vista Experience


You don't by chance have another graphics card in there as well, do you?

'Mac Pro Special Report: Graphics card support

We've noticed a strange snippet in Apple's Mac Pro developer note, which states:

"Note: The Mac Pro does not simultaneously support an ATI graphics card and an Nvidia graphics card."'

And, is your ATI card a third-party add-on?

'Also, we are still looking for any reports from readers who have successfully installed and utilized third-party-purchased graphics cards -- like the ATI Radeon X1900XTX -- with the Mac Pro.'

The ATI x1900XT card I have came with my Mac Pro, from Apple, as a built-to-order option. I don't have another card in there.

I bought this Mac Pro some 2 years ago. In all that time they have not upgraded video cards at all. Can you believe that? So much for buying an "upgradeable" Mac system. :(
