Graphics Card for Digital Audio
Posted by: Mithrandir on 2013-01-06 16:54:23 I am currently running os x tiger on my 733mhz Digital Audio with 1.5Gb of ram and I want to upgrade the graphics card in it from the current GeForce2 MX. The main reason for doing this is to make it so leopard would run better. The other problem is the only monitor I can use at the moment is an adc studio display. Apparently the top adc graphics card I have to choose are either the Radeon 9000 Pro or the GeForce4 Titanium. Which one of these would be best for leopard, and with one of these could my machine run Leopard significantly better than it does now? Thanks, Mithrandir

Posted by: volvo242gt on 2013-01-06 23:48:16 After having the original NVIDIA card die on my DA, I've been running ATI cards exclusively. Am currently running a reflashed Radeon 9700... Works fine. To actually provide a speedy Leopard experience, I'd consider bumping up to a faster G4 processor. Currently have an OWC Mercury 1.2GHz G4 processor in mine. That's what made the computer seem like it wasn't being bogged down by OS X... -J
