  ATI 4870 and 2007 MacPro 2,1

  Posted by Michael Lynch on February 8, 2010 at 8:11 pm

  I’m looking to beef up my graphics card as Motion is dragging, but my research is inconclusive as to whether the aforementioned card will fit/work in my station. I know Apple doesn’t technically support it, but I’ve read on a number of forums where people have used it sucessfully in Mac Pro 1,1 builds. System info is below – any help is appreciated. I work for a collge and returning the wrong stuff is a royal pain.

  Thanks!
