Umbris Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I think you will have to flash bios with moded version. Find related thread under leopard installation. I would use ATI card which has more efficient drivers for pro video apps. I have fully working 3870 but I saw some reports that the new 4850 is starting to work, but you will have to check this. LAN on my board P5Q is not working so if it is the same on your board, buy separate card with compatible chip. The best is realtek 8139 chip.
