nekton Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 What are the odds on getting the new ATi 2600 card for the redesigned iMac and putting it in the older Core2 Duo 24" iMac to replace the 1600? I don't see ATi selling them standalone but maybe a friendly Apple authorized service shop could order one from the mothership!

Common Sense Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 If the friendly apple store gets you a mac version of the card then it should defenitly work in your imac, you just need the kexts for it but those should be bundled with the 10.4.11 update or you can extract them from one of the new imacs. If your talking about getting a pc version of the card then its not going to work.

mifki Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 lo, where sur common sense, the card is most likely different in size, even though it would use the same connector (MXM or sumfin) i doubt it would fit, or work properly due to size factors Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/59327-ati-2600/#findComment-422953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.C. Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 The 2600Pro is commonly available atleast according to Exteremtech. Though get the XT version, its much better.
