Can you use regular PCI cards in Mac Pro?

My G5 is getting a bit long in the tooth and I want to buy a Mac Pro. It says that it supports PCI Express cards, but I have several PCI cards in my PowerMac. Since I don't want to buy them all over again, I was wondering if they will work in the Mac Pro?

Hello Hatter,
There is an external solution Now, (Thanks to a Genius named Markus) I have mine running a treat on My Macpro.

  • Can I use two graphics card in Mac Pro

    In order to use the CUDA advantage in Adobe Premiere Pro I bought an NVIDA Quadro FX4800. The original graphics processor in my Mac Pro (mid2010) is a ATI Radeon HD 5770. Can I use both cards? How do I ensure that Premiere is using the CUDA architecture if both cards are installed? Does a graphics card work if no monitor is attached to it?

    Newer cards have minidisplay port and then use MDP to DVI (active dual link for higher resolution).
    Yes you can have an ATI and Quadro or GTX.
    Most people, based on cost/performance go with newest Nvidia instead.
    You can run up against the limits of having two 6-pin aux power connections available.

    If the None Option is not available to you on an existing Apple ID there is not much you can do.
    There is this... But... it entails creating a New Apple ID which is not a suggested solution.

    Can you use time capsule for your mac and use readynas to back up your pc's on the same network

    Sure, that is trivial setup.. they both have different names and IP addresses.
    You should be able to use ReadyNas for TM backup but you should check the latest state of play for that.

  • Can we use FCP conviniently while my mac pro is attached to a LED tv

    can we use FCP conviniently while my mac pro is attached to a LED tv (46inch).
    I am afraid if the icons will also blow up/get bigger and would become inconvinient to use.

    most large TV sets are still 1080p (1920 by 1080).
    The icons will appear to take up more space (in square inches) on the TV, but will be "grainy" compared to your monitor. The fundamental size of icons and items on screen (in pixels) will not change. When you return to using a monitor, things will be the same as before.

    sorry, I'd like to butt in here:
    I would like to do the same thing, so I am curious about this forum and rather than starting a new one, can I get some advice on this possibility:
    Mac Mini
    1.83GHz Intel Core Duo
    2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
    80GB Serial ATA drive
    Glyph External HD 250 Gig
    Mackie Onyx 1620 w/Firewire
    Logic Pro 7.2
    thoughts?
    The most number of tracks I could see at once would be 16.
    Here is something I am most curious about...
    Firewire Hard drive
    Firewire Interface/mixer
    Firewire camera for FCP
    to much firewire?
    Please let me know if you have other thoughts aswell...
    Shuke
    thanks guys, this forum is fantastic!

  • Can you use other disk drives on mac mini rather than the superdrive?

    I have just purchased a mac mini and am exploring the various options available to me regarding disk drives?
    Are you limited to just the Mac Superdrive or can you use other makes and models?
    i read somewhere that some drives will only let you install software and not let you Burn Music or play games?
    Is that correct.
    Mike Price

    I have three firewire burners daisy-chained to the mini for ripping my CD collection.
