Compatible video card from blue/white G3

Was on phone the with Apple Server Support and was told that if I had an old blue & white G3 tower laying around that the video card would work in my Xserve G5. Can anyone confirm this?
I found a G3 with a ATI XCLAIMVRPRO (model- ATI GT-C), Revision 5C, 8MB.
What do you think? There are just times when I would like to see things through the attached monitor (like when it darn thing wouldn't boot up all the way. It would've helped to be able to see the startup process and where it got hung.)
Suggestions anyone?
Thanks

Can't hurt to try. I'd think it should work as it's a PCI video card.
In general, I'd agree. However, simply FYI, there is one PCI video card that causes an Xserve G5 to crash when booting from the Universal Binary 10.4.7 installer DVD (no problem on earlier versions of the installer DVD, no problem once installation is done). It's the VillageTronic MPDD Pro (also sold as the Sonnet Sonata SD). The card is EOL, so doubt it will ever be fixed unless Apple fixes the issue with the Universal Binary installer DVD in a subsequent version.

    I have CC and while attempting Light Effects, the Light Effects Layer will appear in the layers panel, but the option bar will not appear and neither will the Properties panel. All my preferences are set correct, and my computer has a compatible video card and RAM. Please help!
    I tried to delete the layer attempt again. I am in a Photoshop class, but the work is all online, so all my teacher is going to do is send me to this site. I am trying to edit a photo for this class, and without this working, i go to filter>render>light effects. the bar and panel will pop up for about 2 seconds, then disappear. How do i get the options bar and properties panel to display?

    I was about to suggest resetting LE from the Workspace drop-down top right corner, but if you can't see the Options Bar, I guess that is not going to happen.  The normal Tool reset is grey out for LE, so it might be a case of resetting Preferences.

  • Imac 24 inch compatible video cards

    What are compatible video cards to update to? I want to use imovie 10. But it needs something from this list
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    From what we know, your 24-inch iMac has got a replaceable GPU, so you can replace it if you want, and users say it can be replaced by a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS, which is supported by iMovie 10.0.
    Apple won't help you do that, so you have to get the GPU yourself and install it yourself

    in many countries to make phones seem less expensive
    carriers pay most of the phones price for the customer
    but this come at the cost of the phone only being able to work
    with the carrier this is called a sim lock
    the only people who can remove a sim lock is the carrier which
    the phone is sim locked to they been doing it like that for at least 20 years

    Sounds like the iPhone is locked to the original Carrier
    and you are trying to use  a sim from another carrier
    and only that original  carrier can unlock the iPhone

    I got the same message.
    I bought an iPhone 5 at full retail price from an AT&T store. I requested the phone to be unlocked through their unlock portal. The AT&T unlock system asked for the IMEI number, a copy of my receipt showing that I bougth the phone at "No Commitment" price. A few hours later I received a message from AT&T stating that the unlock request was approved. I then followed the instructions to back up the phone and restore it through Itunes. The phone activates normally with the AT&T SIM card. But when I insert my VODAFONE SIM I get the massage "THE SIM CARD... etc.
    I tried again to back up & restore the phone 3 or 4 times, no success. I have also allowed 24 hours for the unlock process to complete. Still no luck.
    I have checked again on the AT&T Unlock Status portal and it shows "Unlock approved".
    Where is the issue here? Do I have to call Apple or return the phone to AT&T and get the unlocked phone through the Apple Store?
    Thanks for any help on this.

    It appears that you have an iPhone that is locked to a carrier other than the one you were using. Now that you have tried to update the iOS, it has relocked. That is what happens if you are using a phone that has been hacked to unlock. You have also forfeited support from Apple and from this forum.

    I restored my I phone 4 using Itunes, after that I can't access the icon any more I only got a message that says " ( Sim not Valid.) Only compatible SIM cards from supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. I need some proffesional help. Thanks

    "We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care, Sim not vaild?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

    It seems that you have a hacked iphone that has been locked back to the rightful carrier when you updated, as it should.
    The only place that can legally/legitimately unlock an iphone is the carrier to which it is locked.

    I also have the same problem. But I dont have any AT&T sim card. Only T-mobile. Because I tried to unlock my phone and it didnt work. Should I send it to Apple Store or T-mobile ??

    Neither. Apple can not unlock your phone. T-Mobile can not unlock your phone. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Contact them and find out if you (and the phone) qualify for unlocking. 

  • HT1414 i wanna unlock my iPhone every time i try it says only compatible Sim cards from supported carrier may be used

    i wanna unlock my iPhone every time i try it says only compatible Sim cards from supported carrier may be used

    Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Yours is obviously locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use.
    Contact the carrier it's locked to and find out if they offer unlocking and if you qualify to have it unlocked.

  • Final Cut Pro - Two Video Cards - Display Turns White

    MacPro Xeon 2.0GHz
    3 Gig Ram
    Two nVidia 7300 Video Cards
    Two CRT Monitors and One HDTV
    I have two CRT monitors attached to my original nVidia card. I recently installed a second video card and attached a third monitor to my DVI output (on the second video card)
    I tell Final Cut Pro to display video on third monitor as full screen output. I can see my 720p (or 480p) display. When I press play, the entire screen turns White. (I've tried a CRT monitor, and my LCD HDTV via HDMI to DVI).
    If I remove my Right CRT monitor from my graphics card and attach my HDTV (giving me one monitor and one HDTV) I can get full screen 720p play back. But I don't want to edit with one monitor! I am wanting to have my two monitor editing setup with the third monitor as my full screen display (720p).
    Why does three monitors result in a white frame for playback? Do I need to configure something?
    Help!
