I have been waiting for the Macvidia driver forever but nothing seems to happen so I have decided to replace the card with something that works in OSX 10.4.3 8F1111a and hopefully also in 1.4.4 later. From what I understand the ATI cards have native support. I only use my tower-computer for movies and music so I dont really need anything fancy, it only has to support s-video out and QE so that i can play movies. Which card is the cheapest with best support?

 

Cheers

You don't need QE to play videos. Use VLC.

 

I wouldn't rush out and by a card until after you explore trying to get it to work. Modifying the *.kexts may get you to at least QE. If you really want to get a cheap card, Office Depot or eBay would be good places to look. I don't usually by stuff from Office Depot, but they have a few good cards that are cheap ($60+ dolla') The x600 or similar would be a good card.

In VESA mode I have 10-15fps at fullscreen with VLC (no matter if it's a fast PC)
