Can I use a Asus Nvidia gt640 with a mac pro 2006?

Just got my first intel mac! Not the newest thing but it will do. I just have a quick question, can I use the Nvidia gt640 2gb with a Mac pro 2006 with no flashing of the system or the card. Thank's. -Edward

First, you need to look at what OS version you have.  Mnay people (myself included) running some of the newer OS version are using Nvidia cards not released for the Mac.  OS X Mavericks for example will support these cards, but you lose some functionaility (boot screen, etc.)  Once the machine is up and running they work fine.
With a 2006 model you are before the 3.1 machines and therefore limited in the OSX version you can run.  I think you need at least 10.7 Lion.
So if you can run 10.7 the answer is probably, but then you will lose some basic functionality.  For many this is not important.

  • HT4628 I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken

    I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken. The problem is happen recently, I have to use an independent wireless card now. Thanks!

    When you enable Internet Sharing in OS X, you are creating a separate sub-net.
    There is no option to allow this to be a simple pass-through from Ethernet to AirPort (or the other way).
    The problem is easily solved by getting an inexpensive wireless router. You can replace your current router OR disable the DHCP server on the wireless router and allow the wireless clients to get an IP address from the current router.

  • Can i use my snowball usb mic with Logic or Pro Tools???

    Can i use my snowball usb mic with Logic or Pro Tools???

    Hi there,
    Did you find out anything more in regard to this?
    I have been using Pro Tools 8 with the MBox 2 connected to my iMac operating Leopard. It worked a treat for nearly four years.
    However the hardrive has just been replaced on the iMac which now has Snowleopard.  I don't want to have to update to Lion and then fork out £500 for Pro Tools 10. 
    I would be content to get Logic Pro 9 if I can attach the MBox 2 to it.
    Your advice would be appreciated

    Can I use my Apple Express mdl A1084 with my Mac Pro instead of an airport card?

    Just to add to Kappy's post - AE will work with most wi-fi routers in Bridge Mode (which is what you wish to do).
    In Airport Utility, set the wireless config as below;
    In the Mac's network preferences, set to Ethernet, using DHCP and ensure the router's set to use DHCP.

  • Using a 30" Cinema Display with new Mac Pro

    Hello Everyone:
    I just purchased, and waiting to arrive a new 2014 8 core Mac Pro which is an upgrade to my 2009 quad core Mac Pro. I currently use a 30 inch Apple Cinema display which has the DVI connection. I was thinking that I would use a DVI to HDMI adapter and plug the 30" into the HDMI port on the new Mac Pro. I have since heard that people have been having issues with this older monitor getting it to work properly with the new mac pro. some have suggested buy the $99 mini display port to DVI adapter and using that, but I don't believe there is a mini display port on the new mac pro.
    I have considered buying a new thunderbolt display because I am assuming that it will have a much better image quality than the older 30 in display but I hate the fact that it's a 27" and I would be giving up the 3" in size. I do a lot of video and audio recording editing and love the extra screen real-estate.  Can anyone confirm a couple of things for me?
    1. Will the 30 inch display work with a new mac pro and can I use the DVI to HDMI adapter?
    2. Does the new Thunderbolt display have a much better image quality than the 30 in display and because its newer, will look that much better with the mach pro?
    Thank you in advance.

    1. Will the 30 inch display work with a new Mac Pro?
    Yes.
    Can I use the DVI to HDMI adapter?
    Not if you want full resolution.  You need a Mini DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapter
    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter>
    It plugs into a Thunderbolt port (and USB port) on the computer.
    2. Does the new Thunderbolt display have a much better image quality than the 30 in display and because its newer, will look that much better with the Mac Pro?
    No, it has more pixels (in the vertical direction), but they are spaced a bit more apart, so you don't want  to be as close to the display.

  • Can i use a seagate external drive with my mac?

    Hi, probably a dumb question but i want to make sure before i buy, can i use this drive-

    with an imac g5? to me,it seems like a good price. i have fceHD and a 1.8 g5 with 512 ram. Thanks in advance. Ben

    The hard drive itself is excellent. I have two external FireWire/USB 2.O drives, both of which contain Seagate drives similar in specification to the one you propose to buy, though both are 300GB in size. My question is whether the drive enclosure is a good buy (i.e. one that will work with your Mac). You want an enclosure with a good FireWire Bridge chip, such as the Oxford 911, which is known to work well with Macs. I looked at your link, but I could not tell which chip is found in the enclosure.
    I would not buy this until you find out what kind of FireWire Bridge is in the enclosure.
    You may wish to check out the selection at Other World Computing. This is a company that specializes in Mac products, so you know your product will work with your Mac. You'll pay a bit more for a similar hard drive at OWC than the one you are considering presently, but as they say, you get what you pay for. OWC backs it products with a great warranty, too.

  • Can I use motion 5 and Compressor with Final Cut Pro 7?

    Hi, Guys and Girls:
    After reading a lot about the new Final Cut X I decided not to buy it. I´m not gonna say anything about it, pretty much everything has been said so there´s no point in being redundant about it.
    So my question is this:
    Can I use the new version of Motion and Compressor with the old Final Cut Pro 7?
    I heard the new version of Motion is nice, not so sure about the new Compressor but any improvement would be nice.
    Thanks in advance.
    Daniel Sametz.

    Anyone?
    Can I use the new version of Motion and Compressor with the old Final Cut Pro 7?

  • Can I use a wireless speaker/bluetooth with my mac?

    I really hate all the wires running behind my computer, so it would be awesome if I can buy a wireless or bluetooth speaker for my Mac. I'm just wondering that is it possible to do that? If possible, please give me some hints on how to.
    Thanks so much in advance.
    Enoch P

    Good morning,
    Without knowing the specific make/model of the speakers it would be difficult to say, however, using the Bluetooth Utility on the Mac you should be able to pair almost any device.
    You can access the Bluetooth Utility on your main menu bar near the clock, it should look like a "B".
    Hope this helps! 

  • Can I use a touch screen monitor with my macbook pro?

    I am doing a lot of photo organization and thought it would be easier if I had a touch screen monitor attached to my macbook pro.  Has anyone tried this and if so, what brand did you use.
    Thanks
    Bob

    All a touchscreen is going to do is replace your mouse or trackpad, you can't use two hands at once to gain any speed advantage organizing photo's.
    Also it would have to be a pretty big touch screen, place your two hands over a 17" screen and most of the screen is blocked.
    If you need something like that, talk to Microsoft, they have a "Big @ss table" that does that.
    Gives me a backache just looking at those people
