G5 2.3 GHz (2 cores) - GeForce 6600 and a Dvi-D 24"  Screen

Hi There,
I have the G5 2.3 Ghz (2 cores) with the GeForce 6600 card, My question is: will it work with a new
Samsung 24" 1920x1200 (model: 2493HM) with a DVI-D port out of the box? or do I need an adaptor to connect them.
a friend led me to believe that the ports on my G5 are DVI-I and therefore it will not connect to the screen unless i'll use an adapter. (Please recommend one if so)
I currently have a 20" Apple Cinema Display Attached.
Thx.

The ports on your card are DVI-I. All this means is that the ports carry both digital and analog signals. A DVI-D monitor simply won't have the pins on its cable for the analog connection - that's fine because you don't need them since you're using the digital signal.
Your DVI-D monitor will connect just fine with your existing graphics card out of the box, no adapter needed.
To see how the ports are laid out, see the Wikipedia page on DVI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVI

    I have an 20 inch Imac 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I want to introduce Final Cut Pro X into the machine. Can I change the present Videocard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, into a more suitable videocard? Or is that not possible? I have upgraded the memory to 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

    The GPU in a iMac is NOT upgradeable.
    You should check to see if your model of iMac meets the minimum specs to run FCPX.
    I believe that your GPU is NOT OpenCL capable, and hence not supported.
    Even if it works, you would probably get marginal performance.
    What you can do is download the trial version and see how (and if) it works.

  • HT1338 i have macbook air 13.3 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo and 10.5.8. how can i update 10.6

    i have macbook air 13.3 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo and 10.5.8. how can i update 10.6 pls help me

    ok but i have mac os x.
    I'll explain the numbering system for you.
    With the operating systems numbering format it works as this: for example with 10.5.8, the first number is redundant because they are all 10 since 2001. This is the X in OS X
    The second number is the upgrade version, which have cat names attached to them. 10.5 is Leopard. Each of these upgrade names must be purchased.  If you want 10.6 (Snow Leopard) you need to buy it,
    The last number is the update version, which is free, but requires the upgrade before you can install it.
    So, you currently have Mac OS X 10.5.8 and you ask how to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I have given you the link of how buy it.
    so do i must change mac os x (10.5) to snow-leopard.
    The choice is yours. You do not have to upgrade if you do not wish to.

  • G5 Quad (Geforce 6600) and Dell 2405fpw don't work together

    I purchased both (G5 Quad (Geforce 6600) and Dell 2405fpw) brand-new a few days ago.
    When I connect the display using the supplied DVI->VGA cable, the display works. When I connect them using (about any type of) DVI-D cable, I get no picture. The dell screen just stays in stand-by mode. BUT it gets detected (I can see this when I connect a second screen). And the screen show a test image when I disconnect it from the mac, so there's at least SOMETHING happening...
    What is wrong here?
    I am first-time Mac user and on edge to go to the PC/Unix world again, without ever looking back to apple-land, because of this, as it is SERIOUSLY SCREWING UP christmas for us this year.
    Thanks for your help.

    Actually ``detect displays'' found the screen, that was what I meant in my first post.
    The issue is kinda solved now, the DVI-Port of the ``brand-new'' display, which was delivered directly from the Dell factory in Limerick, is non-functional.
    I tried it with a different setup (PC) and see the same symptoms, which lead me to this conclusion. I will get a full refund and possibly buy a 3007WFP if the price is decent.
    It should work with a Geforce 6600 - even at 2560x1600.
    Thanks,

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and then, you should be able to use OS X Lion.
    First, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Then, make a backup of your data, insert the Snow Leopard disc and upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    The disc will install Mac OS X 10.6.3, so open  > Software Update to install 10.6.8, the most recent Snow Leopard version.
    See if your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949 If you see that it's compatible, call Apple to buy OS X Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Also, check if your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • How do I capture streaming video to a DVD on a mid-2010 17" Macbook Pro I have a mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8 Gb of memory?

    I want to copy a streaming video that my company has provided me with a link to a website that streams video presentation to my computer (provided I have an internet connection).  However, for those occasions where I have no access to the internet, I would lioke to have the presentation on a disk.  Is there a simple way to get the video downloaded and copied to a disk using the equipment I have?

    One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won’t have to go though the revert process.

  • I have a macbook air with osx 10.6.8 and it has a 1.4 GHz intel core duo processor and 2GB 1067 Mhz DDR3. I want to use icloud but am afraid buying the version of osx that is required will bog my computer speed down, or change the user inerface. I

    I am not computer savy and like my macbook air because as a college student, and father that is very busy, I don't have to learn to re-use it every month after it crashes from a virus. Am I able to load the new version of osx that icloud requires onto this computer without changing it substantially or slowing it down?

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

  • I have a 2010 MacBook Pro with a 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and a 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory? Is it recommended to upgrade to Yosemite?

    I've seen a lot of people reporting problems with older MacBooks once they're upgraded to Yosemite. Wanted to check if I am making a mistake by upgrading. Currently, I am running Mountain Lion and things are OK, but comparatively slower than when I first got the machine in mid-2010.

  • Macbook Pro Core Duo froze and now boots into grey screen

    I was using my macbook pro (core duo) and just had a few apps open when it froze. I could still use my mouse but nothing else was working including force quit.
    When I restarted my computer, it did the spinning wheel and apple screen and then went straight from that to a grey screen, to never come back again. Sometimes it flashes to black before entering the grey screen.
    I did applejack and it finished with no errors...
    I booted with the command option p and r.
    I tried verbose and it gets past that and then gets stuck again at the grey screen.
    Safemode boots and works fine (except my airport isn't detected) and probably some other things don't work.
    I searched through other problems but couldn't find one that fit these specifications.
    Any help would be graciously appreciated.

    If safe boot works then it is probably a startupitem, launchagent, or launchdaemon that may be failing.  Look in your /Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchDaemons, and /Library/StartupItems.  All these are suppressed in a save boot.  You could start experimenting by removing all you see in those.  Or if you have some hunch of what may be a possible culprit delete that. Or one at a time.  Whatever.
    When I say delete I mean just temporarily remove them.  Observe ownership and permissions when putting them back.
    Note, I don't know why any of those items would suddenly start to fail just because you machine went south.  Perhaps some plist or other data got corrupted.

  • NVidia PNY GeForce 6600 AGP Flashing Issue (ROM says too large for EEPROM)

    Here's a puzzle for anyone willing to assist (I've heard japamac has a good history with this sort of thing so *fingers crossed*).
    So, I got a Quicksilver Power Mac G4 recently for free (gotta love the university just throwing stuff away) and it was the 800Mhz Single Core model. I've recently acquired a Sonnet 1GHz upgrade cpu nib from a thrift shop for $7 and also got my hands on a free and working PNY 6600 AGP card (256mb). I had recalled the 6600 having the ability to flash a mac rom so I thought it would be a sure thing, especially after having done similar build-up for my old Dual 500 Gigabit Ethernet machine, instead opting for an ATI 9600 and a 1.8 sonnet proc which I then sold for $180 bundled with Leopard.
    I followed this tutorial (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2645959?start=0&tstart=0) and downloaded the latest nvflash and the rom image hosted on the site. According to windows the rom file is 32kb, and when I opened up nvflash it stated the rom already installed was around 64kb. I followed all instructions to a t and even opted to erase the eeprom as was suggested after backing up stock.rom.
    So far so good...however when I try to flash the nvmac.rom file, I keep getting some error about a PCI board id not matching (having to override w/ yes) shortly before getting an error message that states that the .rom image is too large for the eeprom. How is this possible?
    The card in question is a PNY GeForce 6600 256MB DDR DVI-VGA-TV AGP Video Card G606600ABD25T+BC4BCA
    Am I just SOL because it actually is too large, or am I missing something here? I've re-flashed the stock.rom back onto the card and all works well on the windows front, but I was really hoping to have a mac 6600 on the cheap...any suggestions?
    If you need any specific info, just ask. Will try to respond asap. Other than the rom size error message, every other step of that tutorial works just fine.

    Unless I am missing something, the 6600 ROMs on the Mac Elite site all (3) show a 128 KB size. The 6600 PNY is listed as 128, and a download and check of the file confirms it.
    If your cards ROM is 64 KB, you will need to solder a new, larger chip on the board.
    Did you download a 6200 ROM?
