eskatonia Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 we have a project coming up for which we need to use a PCI Express frame grabber card, the IDS Eagle Quattro Express, eg here... http://www.ids-imaging.de/frontend/catalog...=22&nav2=69 This card has no mac drivers, but we are considering trying to install it in a Mac Pro Tower running Windows XP. Is there any reason that this wouldn't work? Will the EFI BIOS of the Mac be a potential issue? As far as I know, bootcamp installs a legacy BIOS emulator, so it "should work". Just curious if anyone here has had direct experience installing any unusual cards in a mac pro tower which dont have any mac drivers. The reason we want a mac pro tower for this project instead of just buying a PC is that the project is for a short term installation and after that, a mac pro tower is more useful to us as a Final Cut Studio render machine than a PC tower is. Any help appreciated. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/46841-will-all-pci-express-cards-work-in-a-mac-pro-tower-when-running-xp/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
