gcodori Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I am looking for a video card for an osx86 install - I am looking for DVI/HDMI as the primary output. This will be used on a big screen, not a vga monitor (yuck). The card I am looking at is this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814127201 MSI RX1600PRO-TD256E Radeon X1600PRO 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card With Full Version Game Colin Mcrae Rally - Retail Can anyone confirm that this is the same MSI x1600pro listed in the wiki as being fully working including sleep, etc? And most importantly - working DVI at the highest resolution - it will be used on a 52" projection HDTV. Thanks!

gcodori Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Second option I am looking at with a low profile format (considering slim case). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814102032 SAPPHIRE 100167L Radeon X1600PRO 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Low Profile Video Card - Retail This also has DVI that I want - and the wiki mentions a similar card working. I am thinking of pairing this with the conroe 945g-dvi motherboard. Any thoughts? Which installer would support this and is it included in the latest JAS distro of 10.4.8?

DiaboliK Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) jas disks are pretty much self explanitory and the new disk has a screenshot of the installer icluded. so once you find that all your answers would be pretty much answered.

gcodori Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 As the first two posts asked - has anyone had any FIRST HAND experience with either of these two cards. I'd really like to know before getting to the install screen whether a card is supported. And if there were any hints to getting either of them working would be great too. Also, I'm sure sharing this info would benefit the board.
