Installing Second Geforce 7300 GT for SLI in Windows

I currently have one Geforce 7300 GT installed on PCI Slot 1. PCI Slot 2 has a big gap from Slot 1. If I install a second 7300 GT (of the same make):
1) do I need the sli connector/bridge to have both cards recognized in xp pro via boot camp? i know os x doesnt support sli.
2) does the second card need to go to slot 1? if so, can I use any sli bridge if needed, like the 'asus flex' ?
3) apparently the mac pro can be configured to four 7300 gts, all in sli...with that being said, how would the sli bridges work given the slot configuration the mac pro motherboard, AND the placement of the sli connector on the video card itself? Looking at the slizone.com the bridges between the cards connect them first to third, second to fourth. Heres a link: http://www.slizone.com/object/slizone_quadsli.html With that being said, do i need to look out for anything when purchasing the exact same 7300 GT for my Mac Pro? Will everything work just fine without the bridge or with, given the proper length to connect the two cards?
I'm mainly interested in doing this to overclock both cards via coolbits in the control panel on windows for gaming, currently i can get the 7300 gt to overclock to nearly 500mhz core clock and a little 900mhz memory clock. This is a huge leap over 350/400mhz stock although it produces up to 75 degrees celc. heat.
Thanks!

Whichever other slot you put the second 7300 in, you'll liekly have to reconfigure the slot speeds in Expansion Slot Manager, in Hard Drive - System - Library - Core Services - Expansion Manager (on the Mac Pro).
The menu will look like this:

It will give you choices as to how to configure your slot 'speeds', or however it's called. With the extra 7300, slot 4 might be the best place to install, and luckily, the 7300 is a single space card, unlike the larger ATI (which is why the fist/bottom slot is 'double-height'). This way, you can keep your original 7300 in slot 1 @ 16x, then configure your second card as 8x, or have both cards running at 8x, depending on what kind of performance you're lookign for.

I couldn't get my 10.6 version of Itunes to open, so I uninstalled it. Installed newer version 10.7 for 64 bit (windows 7) and it won't run either. Please help?

Many thanks.

Trying to install a GeForce 7300 GT but nothing!

Hello Guys,
Just added a GeForce 7300 GT to Slot #2 on a Quad G5 equip. w/ a Geforce 6600 in slot #1. The 7300 does not crank up. HELP!

Are you trying to go for a faster card or are you installing a second card because you need to hook up more than two monitors?
If it's a faster card you're looking for, ATi's X1900 G5 Edition is pretty much your only option. Just like with the 7300GT, you'd need to make sure you get the G5 Edition and not the X1900XT, which is a Mac Pro only card.
If you just need more monitors, you can purchase additional 6600s.

Problem of install of GeForce 7300 GT Firmware Update 1.0

When I run the application to install this update I get -
"An unexpected tool error occurred (2). Your firmware cannot be updated."
Well, I keep getting the Apple Software updater ever time I turn on the MAC PRO but I can't get it to install this 1.0 Firmware Update ...
Any one know what I can do?

Exactly the same for me?
Anyone could help us?
Thank you.

Installed Photoshop cc 2014 asks for serial # - corrupted Windows file permissions

More of a warning / heads up to all than a question - installing Photoshop cc 2014 [via the CC manager app] caused some Windows file (security) permissions to become corrupt corrupt on my system. Symptoms include cc2014 asking for serial number validation on startup (when, as a cloud version, it should not do so), then being unable to connect to the internet when you press the 'validate serial' button so getting that window into infinite loops, and - a real pain in the *** when trying to fix the above - causing abends of some windows shell functions that in turn cause windows explorer to crash and restart.
Anyhow, digging into this (fortunately, I am a long time Windows SysProg) I discovered that for reasons unknown, either the CC master app or the actual Photoshop cc2014 installer (or both) are changing file access control permissions on a number of files, mostly DLL's. Most of the files affected are in the (normally hidden) Program Data directory on the windows root disk, Some of them are in the Adobe subdirectory - so fair enough if they want to fool around with their own program - but others being changed are in the Common Files and Microsoft subdirectories. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is necessary nor why Adobe feel the need to touch files that 'do not belong' to them - something dangerous in the extreme as an external app such as Windows Update might replace or 'repair' the files so touched, and if Adobe / CC are relying on file permissions on non-Adobe files, such changes could result in all manner of random and spurious problems / error messages occurring.
Anyhow, if, fellow Photoshop cc 2014 user, you get this happen to you then you can fix the file permissions by opening a console window [also called a "DOS box", or "command prompt" depending on your age and knowledge... 8-) ] and run the windows file checker with the command
"sfc /scannow". Make sure that you use 'run as administrator' to open the console window, or you'll get an error about sfc only being available to administrators. Also a very (very) sensible idea to close all non-essential running applications first to prevent any possibility of weird interactions happening.
Finally, check that the 'hosts' file in [root drive]:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc is valid - for some reason, it looks like the install tried to check or update this file (again, I have no idea why) but the result was a corrupted hosts file, which I assume is the root cause of the 'unable to connect to host' type internet error messages. Copy the file, rename it as 'hosts.txt' and edit it with notepad or wordpad. Look for lines containing garbage strings at the bottom of the file (any line that starts with a # ignore, it is a comment, and any line that has IP addresses or host names should be ignored - though if they reference a site such as "someserver.adobe.com" you might want to treat them with suspicion if you continue to get internet 'cant connect to site' type errors.
Anyhow, when I fixed these two sets of problems, Photoshop cc 2014 started 'right first time' without all the BS messages about serial numbers etc.
Hope this helps somebody out there in AdobeLand......

Update: I tried several times to reproduce the error, actually it dosen't occur. I changed nothing on my system, without reboot it twice. This is what I said in my beginning times: it occurs sometimes but often. I will keep you up to date.

Hi @dazed1 ,
I see by your post that you need the drivers for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I would like to help.
I checked the website and there is a Full Feature and Basic driver available for Windows 7 64 bit. HP LaserJet 1022n Printer Drivers. Did you try both of these drivers?
I would try and install the preinstalled Windows drivers, if you are having issues using the downloaded drivers on the site with your Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Run the Add a printer wizard from Devices and Printers.
You could also plug and play the drivers. Connect the printer to the computer and see if Windows will detect the printer and install the drivers automatically.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT is on Adobe's list of unsupported GPUs for Open GL rendering-

My Mac Pro's Radeon X1900 XT is retired to my computer grave yard, in my basement, but going back to the OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT, which shipped with my Mac Pro, brought some encouraging results.
When I first got the 2007 Mac Pro, in 2009, I was running it in Mac OS 10.4.4.11 Tiger and Photoshop CS4 (11.0.0) would disable Open GL rendering when it detected the stock nVidia GeForce 7300 GT card, which was on Adobe's list of unsupported graphics GPUs. So, I purchased a refurbished Apple Radeon X1900 XT. This card allowed Photoshop CS4 and Bridge CS4 to enable Open GL Rendering. Over the last year, the Radeon X1900 XT graphics card has been creating stripes on my screen when it is running hot and sometimes the dual displays would just shut off while I was working. Also, the computer was doing hardware freezes about once a day. This morning the Mac Pro shut down it's dual displays, while I was working, and I had to do another cold shut off in order to restart. I then manually shut the computer down and did a manual boot-up so that Snow Leopard would employ disk maintenance.
I shut the computer off and pulled the Radeon X1900 XT card and re-inserted the OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT card. Now I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) instead of Photoshop CS4 (11.0.0).
Now, the updated Photoshop CS4, under the newer OS, is enabling Open GL rendering instead of disabling it. This graphics card's hardware limitation is now fixed, so I see no reason to buy the ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit for my Mac Pro:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/6615718/
Some who have purchased the Apple ATI Radeon HD 5770 say they still got the striping on their display when the Radeon HD 5770 card was running hot, just like with the Radeon X1900 XT.
So far, the OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT is working fine and I'm not getting any striping on my displays with no display shut-offs or hardware freezes.
I'm glad to have Adobe's Open GL rendering enabled with an OEM graphics GPU that runs cool and requires no imbedded cooling fan. Apples OEM nVidia GeForce 7300 GT, for the Mac Pro, is on Adobe's list of unsupported GPUs for Open GL rendering under Photoshop CS4, so why is it supported now? Is that just one of the benefits of the Photoshop CS4 11.0.2 update?

Chirs, thanks for your info but you are talking about Photoshop CS5, which does not support OpenGL drawing on the Mac nVidia 7300 or the Mac Radeon X1900. As long as I am using Photoshop CS4 and have not yet upgraded to CS5, I can continue to use the Mac nVidia 7300 and get limited OpenGL drawing support from Photoshop. And it is working fine.
Today I found out that Adobe has updated their OpenGL support information and apparemntly when I upgraded my Mac from Tiger to Leopard, and later, I gained Photoshop's Open GL support for the Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT:
Supported video cards (Mac OS)
Intel-based Macintosh, tested on Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.4
17-inch iMac x1600, 128 MB
ATI HD 2600, 256 MB
MacBook Air intel GMA X3100
Nvidia Quadrofx 4500, 512 MB
Radeon x1900, 512 MB
Intel-based Macintosh, tested on Mac OS X 10.5.4 only
8800 GT, 512 MB
iMac 8800 GS, 512 MB
Nvidia 8600M, 256 MB
The following Power PC cards work in Photoshop CS4: Nvidia 7800 (256 MB), Nvidia GeForce 7800 GT, and the Nvidia Quadro FX 4500.
Note: OpenGL is enabled for the GeForce 7300GT, but Advanced Drawing and 3D Acceleration are disabled.
So, when I upgrade to Photoshop CS5, I will need to replace my video card with something compatible with Photoshop CS5s OpenGL drawing engine. Do you think the ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit, for my Mac Pro, will get Photoshop CS5 to make OpenGL drawing availible and active?
I appriciate an Adobe employee, like yourself, providing the information I need to make the right hardware choices when upgrading to Adobe CS5.

Mac Pro GeForce 7300 GT monitor frequencies support

I would like to plug two CRT 17" at 1024"x768" 60hz on a Mac Pro. Could you send me a link where I can find the detailed specifications of the Geforce 7300 GT for Mac regarding the detailed monitor frequencies supported. I saw the list of specs on the Nvidia site, but that only mention the max resolution and its frequency. Please help. I want to make my current monitors will work in stereo DVI config. before I purchase it. Tks.
Powerbook Ti G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

At 60Hz the Nvidia 7300GT, amongst most other cards, will practically run anything.

Yes. Please check Server Manager -> Roles. Find Web Server (IIS) there (not a tree node, but on page), click "Add Role Services" and check that all Security role services are checked. If not - check, install missing role services, try .Net server, if it still doesn't work, reinstall.
Otherwise it would not work.

Reccomendations needed for NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT replacement.

Any recommendations greatly appreciated!

Requires 10.6.5 - and 10.6.5 DVD retail don't seem to exist for anyone that doesn't already have 10.6 installed which means "no booting from DVD for us" if needed, and 'slipstream' drivers also is a no-go. In Panther 10.3 you could, BootCD was a great tool to have current OS X on your own DVD. Now you need to create your own flash based boot volume or something.
Check the display setup tips, running multiple displays isn't always obvious.

I don't even think that even the custom driver folks have Leopard drivers.
Most of their sights are on ATI 6xxx or GTX 500s, and Lion.

Nvidia FX 4500 + GeForce 7300 for 3 DVI Displays

I am running a mac pro with FX4500 connecting to two displays. Now I want to add one - could I add a GeForce 7300 to run with FX4500 for the third display ?

Any performance considerations / impact of using this mix-n-match combinations - as the 2 cards are very different in power.
Not today although that "may" change in the future.
Current applications that utilise the power of the GPU, such as Final Cut Studio and games, can only do so with a single CPU. So, as long as you main display(s) are connected to your Quadro you'll be fine. That then reverts additional cards to the task of simply displaying video which even the Intel GMA950 in the MacBook/Mac mini is capable of doing.
Where this may change is when application begin to be able to harness the power of multiple GPUs. This is not the same as SLI or Crossfire. For instance, Final Cut Studio being able to utilise the processing power in all of your GPUs concurrently. Also, games that are able to span multiple displays the similarity of the GPU power may begin to matter… imagine playing Unreal Tournament on 3 x 30" displays .

Satellite A200-19l driver XP for Nvidia GeForce 7300 not working at all

After downgrading from Vista to XP, my A200-19l doesnt find the Hardware to the GeForce 7300... no driver working, wether Display- or new Forceware drivers from Nvidia homepage. The Hardware Manager still shows a ? for the "Video
controller".... the Geforce 7300 isnt shown at all as Hardware...
what can I do... thanx for any help!

Hi
Its very simple. You need an compatible graphic driver!!!
Did you already check the drivers from these pages?:
www.omegadrivers.net
www.laptopvideo2go.com
Anyway, the graphic driver from the nVidia page should works also!!!
You have to install the driver in the device manger. Dont install it automatically but force the driver installation.
You have to choose Install from a list or specific location (advanced) and then Dont search. I will choose the driver to install.
Thats all!!

GeForce 7300 GT Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro?? G5?

Hi,
Just found this on the apple store:
http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=1643C421&nplm=M A567
"NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro"
Why is it only for mac pro? its PCI express & my g5 is one of the late 2005 models and it has PCI Express so am i wrong in thinking that this should work fine or is it something to do with the new intel architecture?
If i remember correctly i could have chosen this card or a very similar one when i configured my G5.
Thanks

That card is only for the Mac Pro, as it says.
When you ordered your G5, you had the choice of the nVidia 6600 (or 6600LE), nVidia 7800GT, or the Quadro FX 4500.
The 7800GT that you could have ordered with your G5 is close in performance to the ATi X1900XT that is an option on the Mac Pro. The 7300GT that you're looking at is an entry level card, which the 7800GT definitely is not.
The 7300GT and the X1900XT are both Mac Pro only due to the ROM on the card, which is designed to work with the EFI booting hardware that the Mac Pro uses. The G5s used Open Firmware, which requires a different ROM on the video card. So, even though both your G5 and the Mac Pro are PCI-Express based, these video cards are not compatible.
Now, most PCI-Express cards that you look at for, say, external SATA, will probably work in both the G5 and the Mac Pro. You'd still want to check the specs to be sure, however.
If you're looking for a new video card to replace your (presumably) nVidia 6600, your only real option is the ATi X1900 G5 edition. This is a different card than the X1900XT that's offered for the Mac Pro.
