1900 XT and 8800 GT in a rev 1 macpro

Hey
I have a rev 1 mac pro, 2.66, 1900 XT. I was wondering if I can have both the 1900 XT as well as the 8800 GT installed in my mac pro at the same time (if so, what configuration). I game a lot on XP so that is why I bought the 8800 card just now. Will I get any performance advantage by having both installed at the same time or will it be a huge electricity hog? I have read the reviews at barefeats about the gaming versus pro apps and which cards are better for each application. I want it more for gaming.
Thanks in advance

Well my luck is not so good. My card was installed with no problems but I get a kernal panic every time I start up my machine now. I removed and then replaced the video card three times now. I also reseated the memory risers just in case they were the problem. I am pretty much dead in the water unless I go back to my 1900 XT.
EDIT well after reading a few other posts involving kernal panics and the 8800 it appears that the problem only occurs while trying to boot into Tiger (which is what I was doing). If I upgrade my tiger volume to leopard I will no longer be able to use my tiger bootcamp installed volume of XP. I have tried to boot into XP from leopard volume but with no luck. This ***** big time as there were many reasons for not changing my volume from tiger to leopard. Thanks apple

  • Can I add both a HD 2600 XT and 8800 GT to a new Mac Pro

    I just purchased the new Mac Pro and got the base config. with the HD 2600 XT. The way my setup works is I need to use this Mac Pro with 3 monitors, all within close areas within the office. We will have a wireless/bluetooth keyboard/mouse and since it's within 15 ft. we don't expect to have problems. With the monitors we will have to run DVI Cables around doors so it should be more like 20-22 ft. I was going to purchase a DVI splitter such as the one from Monoprice.com but figured my best solution is to add a video card. These monitors need to be mirrored but won't have to all display at the same time.
    I came to the conclusion it's almost as good to just add a 2nd video card. I am considering the 8800 GT but am wondering, if I have a system with both the 2600 XT and 8800 GT will it cause problems? To be safe am I better off just getting another 2600 XT? If so, where can I purchase it? I can find the 8800 GT on Apple's site but can't find the 2600 XT anywhere. I don't do much gaming other than X-Plane but do some Adobe CS3 work in Photoshop, Illustrator, and inDesign, some HD video in Final Cut Studio, and other than that basic office work in iWork, Office, and mail, ical, and safari web browsing.

    When I called Apple they told me that I wouldn't be able to use my current 2600 with the 8800 (if it ever gets here). They said I could use two 8800's or multiple 2600's but not an 8800 and 2600 together. I may give it a try anyways because I'd like to run 3 monitors.
    If I were you I think I'd just get one of the 2600's that are likely to start showing up on E-bay when people start to finally get their 8800's. That is if you can wait until March.
    Best of luck.

  • HT1420 I have an old iphone 3G with 1900 songs and pictures that I want to put in my current itunes library, so they will sync in to my new iphone 5s.

    I have an old iphone 3G with 1900 songs and pictures that I want to put in my current itunes library, so they will sync in to my new iphone 5s.  How can I transfer this info into my new library?
    Thanks

    You can transfer the purchases you made on your old iPhone 3 by plugging it in to iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from your IPhone to the iTunes on your computer.  This will get music you purchased in iTunes, apps, etc.  (e.g., movies).
    But for the rest you would need to restore a backup of your newly deceased computer.

  • Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?

    Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?
    I have been trying to install Photoshop CS6 & CC and Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac Pro (late 2013). I keep getting a 'configuration' error message and wondered if the problem was wide spread.
    TIA,
    Jerry

    Thanks, Martin.
    Good to hear someone has had success. The lack of it here is frustrating and depressing.
    Thanks again,
    Jerry

  • Is it possible to copy the iphoto library and albums from a G5 to a macpro

    I would like to copy my iphoto library and albums from a G5 10.5.8 iphoto 8 to a macpro 10.6.2 with iphoto 9. I would like all the photos and albums to appear in the macpro just as they were in the G5. I have vantecs ezshare adapter that allows you to drag files between two computers mac or windows. Copying photos should not be a problem but its the albums I want to go with the photos and appear in iphoto 9 on the macpro.

    iPhoto '09 will open and convert any previous version of the iphoto library - if it is working correctly on the old system it should convert
    Firewire target mode is a good way to transfer the iPhoto library - make the connection and drag the entire iPhoto library at one intact as a single entity to the new computer (put it on the desktop or somewhere so as not to mess up what you have done - depress the option key and launch iPhoto on the new system and select the library you just copies (be sure not to select the one on the old computer - you do not want to convert it - conversion is a one way operation) - it should open and convert and be ready to use - then you can quit iPhoto and place it where you want and do the option launch again to tell iPhoto where it is - and do the option launch any time you want to switch between multiple libraries

  • Nokia 616 and 8800

    I'm trying to use my nokia 8800 with 616 car kit in hands free mode since i don't have external antenna, but it keeps going into sim access mode.
    I've searched the forum, but there seems to be no topics adressing this issue.
    Is there any way to disable this mode in 8800(like in e61) or configure 616 to only work in hands free mode?Message Edited by 2funk on 10-Jan-2007

    You can buy a autolead for this vehicle, it connects to the amplifier in the boot, i have done quite a few and had no problems. I would try and find a decent cellular engineer most garage engineers are not clued up with thing like this.

  • Verizon Gateway User and Pss, Mi 424 wr rev d

    i have a actiontec mi 424 rev d and i was trying to port forward for something. but it brought me to the gateway and asked me for a username and password. I have searched the internet for hours and cant find anything! I have tried Admin and Password, and my serial numbers but i cant get it right! can someone please tell me the default username and password

    I posted the issue on this forum about connecting an external hard drive to the MI424WR and I found that it might be possible with a firmware update to the router. In order to update the firmware I need to access the router- Per the actiontec website the username is ;admin and password is assword1 - however that doesn't work for me either.
    Not sure what to do now, I guess call Verizon. If I reset the router to reset the user and password to the default, it will reset all wep key and stored info so I have to reinstall everything! I don't want that either.

  • PC wont boot at all with X-fi and 8800 GTX c

    My A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard and my BFG 8800 GTX video card seem to not like the X-Fi... It wont boot at all.... If I remove the X-fi, it boots fine. I have tried the X-fi in all available slots, and moved the 8800 to both slots, but nadda..Once, it booted, but the X-fi wasnt 'seen' by the MB at all... I can run onboard sound, but it isn't as nice, and I dont get to use the EAX...

    Cat, what processor/memory are you running on the mobo along with the x-fi and the 8800 gtx? What drivers do you use for the 8800 gtx? Latest?Can you run the Battlefield 242 demo with the X-Fi and Ultra/Eax Audio settings on (all audio settings at max) without problems for at least an hour with no stutter/crashes in h20x2k.sys or whatever?I don't know if you can be bothered, but it would be amazing if you tried it and reported that it works fine, if it does. I'm getting HEAVY stutter with a DFI Lanparty SLI-DR Expert (Nforce 4). It starts out fine, but gets worse and worse as time goes. By about 5 minutes to half an hour it's pretty much unbearable and/or crashes with a bluescreen. Please see my other post for this (look for bf 242 audio channels). Setting the sound to "hardware" seems to be a temporary fix, but I'm definitely not satisfied. I have no problems running general windows/2d audio otherwise... silky smooth. I'm actually considering replacing my motherboard in the near future and I'm gathering options on "X-Fi-Friendly" motherboards. I'd like to hear my Battlefield 242 audio with all its 28 channels in EAX 5 someday... Perhaps Creative should consider putting stickers or logos on motherboards to ensure they play nice together lol :-D?ThanksMessage Edited by HeatSurge on 06-07-2007:26 AM

  • My Latency is at 1900-2600ms, and, I would like to know if there is any way to fix it or lower it

    I have not found any solutions to this, sometimes my Latency can be at 50-80ms, and i don't know why now it is constantly at 2000 ish. It annoys the crap out of me because a simple page on google takes FOREVER to load.
    This is the System Info.
    Model Name: iMac
      Model Identifier: iMac12,1

      SMC Version (system): 1.71f22
    Ive gotten a new router in the past, that did nothing, and i am confused because on my tablet, the ping is a normal 70ms, this is why i need help with lowering it on the computer, as you know of you've had similar problems, they are very annoying to deal with. I have no idea what seems to cause this, but something i find interesting, is that when i restart the computer, for about 15 mins after it was restarted, the ping is normal, then it just jumps back up to the 2000's.
    I have the latest software OS X Maveriks 10.9.5.
    Please help i have been having this problem for a very long time and have never been able to fix it

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Why do we need separate t.codes KB11N and KB41N for reposting costs & rev?

    Hi,
    Why do we need separate t.codes KB11N and KB41N for reposting costs and revenues? I noticed that i can still use one t.code KB11N to post both costs and revenues, hence why do we need a separate t.code KB41N for revenues?

    Hi,
    The BAPI for costs allows more options than the one for revenues. For example, via BAPI_ACC_PRIMARY_COSTS_POST  you can select sender Network, what you cannot do via BAPI_ACC_REVENUES_POST. The same is for 'cost object' as a receiver; you can do it only via BAPI for costs. In other aspects, the BAPI for costs could be used to repost revenues as well.
    Regards,
    Eli

    I have downloaded Mavericks OSX 10.9 and Numbers 3.0.  I have revised some of my Numbers files.  Today Apple advised of Updates for my computer, which I downloaded.  I now find that I am running Numbers 09 on my computer and cannot access my revised Numbers files without going to the App Store and buying Numbers 3.0 for $19.99.  Has anyone else run into this problem?

    Something similar happened to me: I opened a spreadsheet that I worked on yesterday and received an error message saying that I needed to load a new version of Numbers.  That would be the same new version that I had downloaded the day before.  It sent me to the App Store where I was told that no new software was available for me.
    I noticed that I had the older version of Numbers still open in my dock.  I removed it, opened Numbers 3.0, and my spreadsheet appeared.
    Not sure that will help in your situation, but I wish you well.

  • 822 Wifi and Verizon Router MI424-WR rev D

    Has anyone else with this router experienced connection issues?  It is not consistent in that sometimes when I get home my phone connects immediately.  But at once in a while, the phone refuses to connect giving the message "Connection Unsuccessful: Your phone couldn't connect to the WIFI network name because there was no response from the network.  Please try again later."  It usually takes me rebooting the router before the phone connects.  This is frustrating because no other device in my house has connection issue at all.
    I am on firmware 4.0.16.1.56.0.10.14.4 on the router.

    Have you checked if there is a newer firmware?

    Hello babichanjacob
    Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.
