DrSupachicken Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hello, From what I have seen this card will work well with my system and it's an affordable price. I won't be doing anything to push the card, other then running dual screens in Digidesign ProTools. From what I can see dual display and spanning works quite well with this card! Here is my current system I'm building, hopefully the 7600GS 256MB PCI-E will be a nice addition. Should I do a complete re-install with the new GCard or should I keep my current install and just add the GCard? Thanks, below is the system it will be running in. JaS 10.4.8 Intel D945GTP Mobo Pentium D 915 2.8GHz GMA950 Upgrade to 7600GS 256MB PCI-E 3GB DDR2 667MHz 400GB SATA HDD DVD-RW Lightscribe IDE (Master) CD-RW IDE (Slave) Asus WL-138G V2 Wireless PCI (Airport Express) Digidesign M-Box 2 Mini USB Audio Interface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahbau Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 You shouldn't need to reinstall everything just for the card. I recently switched from an ATi X800 to an nVidia 7600GT, and all I did was install the Natit drivers and remove the Callisto ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can see dual display and spanning works quite well with this card! Isn't it possible to do dual display with your GMA950 and a add-1 card? Anyway, it's a good buy, the 7600gs, I got it, and I can heartily recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSupachicken Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hi Mate, An ADD2 card would definitely work, but I would have to order it in to Australia. By the time I spend the money I might aswell get the 7600GS. Make my system run smoother, and let me run Final Cut Studio 2 aswell. Thanks for your reply. Our systems are almost identical Synaesthesia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thanks for your reply. A pleasure Our systems are almost identical Synaesthesia! Wow, exceedingly so! I like my computer, OS X has shown me how good it can be! Make my system run smoother, and let me run Final Cut Studio 2 aswell. The 7600gs is a great upgrade, IMO. The general interface feels snappier overall, expose and dock shrinking/magnifications are smoother and faster as well. Programs like Chocoflop render WAY faster, and I can play games, and it was cheap. AND it supports dual-screen. So what's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadget Boy Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hi It is worth mentioning that many have had problems with the digital DVI output on this card. Ananlogue seems fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
