I am upgrading my onboard video card (long overdue). I am running iPC OSx86 10.5.6 on a Dell Dimension 3000, that only has PCI card slots, no AGP, PCIe, etc. etc.

 

I would like one that can run quartz extreme. I am very newb at this mac thing, so I don't really know anything about the EFI things that I read about on here. I don't really care about budget, probably around 100$?

 

I also don't care if its ATi or nVIDIA.

 

Thanks a lot in advance,

Jordan

Will the nVIDIA GeForce 9400GT actually work for QE/CI?

nVIDIA GeForce 9400GT works ok under iPC 10.5.6. i'm using it

 

Ok, does that mean that you have quartz extreme enabled? As I said, I am completely new to macs, and hackintosh, plus I'm only 16, so I may need some assistance.

 

What video card do you have?

I was thinking about this one for me: EVGA GeForce 9400GT 1GB

- is the 1GB overkill? this is the first video card I've ever bought.

- I don't game, I do graphics & video editing

- if it is overkill, maybe the: EVGA GeForce 9400GT 512MB?

 

Also, did your video card work 'out of the box', or did you have to mess around with stuff?

- if so, what did you have to do?

 

I really appreciate your help,

Jordan

Nvidia 9400GT is PCI-Express card.

 

ampbc need a PCI card.

 

The only PCI card that I know working with QE/CI in Leopard is Nvidia 8400GS PCI (is very difficult to find)
