mutahir Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi All, I have installed 10.5.2 Kalaway, with help from this forum, my machine spec are : PIV 3 GHz, 1GB DDRII, SATA HDD, DVDRW/DVDROM, Intel GMA900, Broadcom Lan (Wired). I am now buying a graphics card PCI-E, after having a look at the HCL of 10.5.2, I still can't figure out which graphic card to buy which works out of the box, as my vista installation doesn't supports aero on gma900 so its time to buy a graphic card. I have £ 80. for the graphics update. In last, thanking you all for the great support and information here..

Gujal Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Are you sure your machine supports PCI-E card. Looking at your specs it looks like last generation motherboard which will have a AGP slot Anyway if you are absolutely sure of PCI-E, this should work nicely Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111233-graphics-card-pci-e/#findComment-787887 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azurael Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Any GeForce 6/7/8 series PCIe card or ATI X2xxx/HD 3850/70 series should be fine. Some X1950s don't seem to work in OS X, but the X1600 seems a sure bet too if you're looking for a low-end replacement. Look at reviews and pricing and see what offers the best compromise between performance and price for you. You can get quite a decent card with £80 these days. Might even scrape you a second-hand 8800GTS, looking at eBay, though that's probably overkill with your system.

Gujal Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 By patches, if you mean Natit/NVInject, yes, you need it regardless for any Nvidia/ATI card. If you are not into gaming, then even the £30 Geforce 7200GS 128MB PCI-E Graphics Card should suit you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111233-graphics-card-pci-e/#findComment-789238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
