A few weeks ago I was given a Mac Pro with dual G5s. I liked it, but it was ultimately just too old. Its old AGP Radeon couldn't push 2560x1600 to my 30" Cinema Display, and wasn't realistic to upgrade. It also couldn't run anything newer than Leopard.
I bought a used Mac Pro with dual 2.66 Xeon chips, threw 10g RAM in it, and installed Lion today...runs okay, holds its own.
I'm wondering what is compatible as far as video upgrades. Is it even PCI-Express? Do I need something specifically Mac designed, or would one of my cards laying around work (like a GTX 480)?
I'm so out of touch with these things its incredible lol.
