Simania_NL Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I think you should go with a ATI X1600, because those cards are also used in apple's own iMac series. The guide above gives a good method on how to enable its full potential.

Hiro_ Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 Yeah, after read this topic i find than the best option is the x1600, but there i enter in other trouble, therefore in my country x1600 is sold by several manufactures - PowerColor, GeCube, Asus, Sapphire, MSI. The problem is than i readed than the performance is variable with the manufacturer. Other fact is the ram capacity, the price of a X1600 of 256 and 512 is very little, the best option would be the of bigger capacity or this not will influence in nothing?

Rockett Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Sapphire seems to be the one that is working most frequently. Note that OSX only reports 256mb if you have the 512mb version.
