Replacement network cards for MacPro

My question is for anyone who is familiar with the MacPro motherboard. Lightning blew out my dual ethernet card and the estimate to replace it is around $450. A friend told me I could purchase a compatible network card and plug it directly into one of the three available slots on the mother board. If this is true, could anyone suggest to me a network card that is compatible with the MacPro motherboard? I would appreciate any help with this issue!

Are you considering any particular cards ?
I have had good luck with DEC21040 (10baseT) and DEC21140 (100baseT) cards
in Solaris 7 through Solaris 10 on x86.
The same can be said for 3Com 3C905C-TX cards.
Solaris 8x86 will recognize many chipsets natively,
and a number of third party developers have created working driver packages.
Most of their driver packages are free, but a few are not free.
Solaris 9 works with a few more, and Solaris 10 works with yet more adapters.
The Solaris 8x86 HCL list has the native cards.

Replacement Graphics Card for Macpro 2008 with HDMI ports

I have a Mac Pro 3,1 (2008) 2 x 2.8 Quad core with ATI Radeon 2600 XT Dual DVI.
I would like to replace this Card with something that has at least 1 HDMI out port that supports audio. I want to be able to use download/ iview features to watch TV shows on my HD LCD TV but sourced by the Macs browser.
The Current card only has DVI ports and does not support any audio so when connected to the TV I get picture, but no sound. Not Ideal !
I see that the cards on the Apple store don't have HDMI out.
looking for lots of ideas and experiences.

I see that the cards on the Apple store don't have HDMI out.
The apple 5x70's have 2 mini-displayports and a dual link dvi port. The 5770 requires one aux power cable and the 5870 requires two.
You can get just as good as the name brands but much cheaper priced adapters and cables through monoprice.com. For example, the mini-displayport to HDMI adapter:
Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
There are many people who have put a 5770 into a 2008 mac pro. Here's a google search of "5770 in a 2008 mac pro" which shows many discussions of this and even a video.
There's also some discussions on this in these forums as indicated by the More Like This section on the right side of this page.

Network card for G$

Can someone recommend a network card for a G4 ?
My built-in card died recently. I installed a DFE-530TX but couldn't get it to work with 10.3.9.
I am looking at some of the G-wireless options but not sure which one to select.
Any recommendation will be greatly appreciated.

Network Card for PowerBook G3

Hello everyone,
I have an older laptop and I have been told that I can only access the Internet with dialup because the computer does not have a network card.
Is there one available for the PowerBook G3. Better yet, can I get a wireless card?
Thank you very much

Macintosh PowerBook G3 Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier Mac OS 8.5.1

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The Powerbook G3 has a built-in ethernet port. It is the same as a "network card" 10-base-T. It is slightly wider than the telephone cable though looks like a phone jack.
What age Powerbook G3 do you have? Some have a built-in port to insert an older style airport card (not the Airport Extreme), while others require using a PCMCIA WiFi card such as the Lucent Orinico Gold. See this article to identify your Powerbook G3:

XPS 8700 - need additional network card for VMware Workstation

Hello -
I'm wanting to add either a dual or quad network card to my XPS 8700 so I can provide physical interfaces for some VMware Workstaion. Is there a specific band or model that is compatible..?
I've tried installing a spare Intel E1G42ET (dual port) card I had laying around, but the OS never saw it even with the drivers from Intel's website loaded up.
Any suggestions..? Thanks,

No - but it's just another card to the BIOS. Also, there's already a Wireless NIC and an Ethernet NIC in there. I appreciate the suggestion - I can test it,. but suspect the issue will remain the same.
Thanks,

What replacement graphics card for Mac Pro1.1

My NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT card is producing various screen artifacts and freezing on startup,
but not in safe boot mode. From reading this forum and posts for a couple of days I've concluded
that I need to replace my card and am thinking that the +ATI Radeon HD 4870 Graphics Upgrade Kit+
+for Mac Pro (Early 2009 or Early 2008)+ from the Apple site is the one to get.
I should add that I've tried all the usual fixes in case it wasn't a hardware problem. My question is
will the card work with my system (only Apple and Adobe software running OS 10.5.8 and one 20" Dell monitor).
Now I know this question has been asked and answered many times but I seems to work for some
and not for others that's why I ask again mentioning my particular setup in case that has some
importance.
Thanks in anticipation of any advice.

How did you get on with your graphics card replacement?
My original Nvidia GeForce 7300GT is on its way out but I'm reluctant to pay nearly £300 for a replacement. Are there any other options available to me?

Airport Wireless card for MacPro April 2008 FA970LL/A

I see from another post that part # MB363Z/A works for MacPro January 2008, but I just wanted to know if anyone out there has installed this part in a 2008 MacPro FA970LL/A (spring)

Ok so I am having a conversation all by myself lol! Seriously I called a Mac Genius and he told me that the part number is MB988Z/A which is the same airport part number for the 2009 MacPro's! Now if you find this part number it will state that it only works with 2009 MacPro's and not earlier Mac's!
Apple should really get it's story straight! Heck, I am not trying to replace an engine in a Ferrari!

Teamed network cards for domain controllers?

can someone help me to resolve a debate we have: my colleage states that domain controllers (in our case Win2003SP2) should "not" have their network cards teamed for high availability (via HP's NIC teaming software).? I've not heard of this and cannot Bing/Google anything like this. I'm under the impression that a domain controller "should" have it's gigabit NICs teamed to make sure that directory services are highly available.
any information on this would be great. thanks...Peter A. Berger Jr.

Fault Tolerance and Network Teaming
                Anyone who has called Microsoft for help with a networking problem has likely heard the question: "Are you using network teaming?" I have often heard this referred to by Microsoft's customers as a "quick out" or an excuse that Microsoft was looking to pass the responsibility on to someone else. As someone that has been on both ends of the phone, and at the highest escalation point within Microsoft's Network queues I can tell you that it is a question born of wisdom and tempered with experience. While working the phones at Microsoft, supporting the largest and most critical systems in the US it was rare to ever get a call about the same problem more than once. Even more rare was for everyone on our group to get the same calls, and have the same experiences. I recall it happening when we fought the blaster worm, and when Microsoft's "Scalable Networking Pack" was released with 2003 SP2. These were bad, but a few months went by and except for a few straggles the phone calls stopped, the world got wise to the issue and the problem was resolved. I was amazed though to experience 1-3 calls a week with network issues CAUSED by network teaming. I could not help but be blown away by the irony of a program meant to avoid network failure so often causing it. I talked to colleagues, (of which I have found no better single source in the industry than at Microsoft), and found that even the old timers having more than 15 years with the company had the same stories of problems caused by networking teaming as we are constantly experiencing today. I am amazed that an industry as wise and agile as the computer industry has been (and is), has stuck with such a poor technology. I always asked my customers as the called with problems, usually critical ones, "What is teaming these network cards getting you". Almost unanimously the answer would come fault tolerance, to which I would reply rhetorically "How often do you NICs or Switches fail and how often has teaming caused network failure?" In my opinion, it is unforgivable for an application to constantly cause the problem that it is written to avoid. It should cause pause and reflection as to whether the technology is well suited for its function, whether it is just written poorly or if all of its implementations have similar problems. Technology today is beyond network teaming. There are far better methods of providing fault tolerance with manual and automatic failover. Most application writers have taken into consideration fault tolerance at the service level superseding anything that network teaming offers, so that network teaming should be a dead technology, because it is killing us.
                Finally, if you are considering using network teaming, or have had reason to reconsider its use, maybe these questions will help your assessment:
                What is my goal with using network teaming?
                Can I gain Availability through use of a more capable NIC card?
                How often have my NIC cards failed?
                When NIC cards have failed were they the only failure, or was it in conjunction with a Motherboard or other failure causing the service to be unavailable?
                What are my needs for uptime for these services?
                Would a manual failover (the simplest of options) be viable for this service?
                What options for automatic failover do I have (since most applications can have multiple providers through configuration)?
                One other note to add. While working on the phones at Microsoft, and later as a consultant to large and federal organizations, I found one thing that seemed to be true most of the time. When a problem occurred, it was rarely the OS itself, but something unnatural to its processes. Simplicity and minimalism is really one of the keys to a healthy server and environment. Often it is necessary to introduce other applications and services, but I do not think near as often as we do.
Note: MSFT does not support network teaming, because they do not own the software that provides it. In certain instances though, like with OCS, they flat out will not support OCS if teaming is enabled on the server.
Note2: I realize my comments above are very general, and so I want to apply these to this exact question. When I consider AD and how to make it fault tolerant, I cannot help but realize that the protocols, clients and services that make up Directory Services, are beautifully fault tolerant. In most cases, the loss of any one DC would not greatly affect the user's ability to authenticate to a computer or service within the domain. Even more, Directory services is inherently so fault tolerant that it can still function with the loss of a major part of the servers that make it up.
Don't forget to give credit where credit is due, vote this as helpful if it helped you.

Where can I find an apple airport extreme wi-fi network card for my Mac pro 2x 2.26ghz nehalem?

I can't seem to locate the correct network card anywhere, so I assume I'm attempting to find it without all the information. Assistance as to which card is the right one and where I can find it would be appreciated.

You mean the card shown here and here?

Utlizing 4 network cards for SUN v245

Hi
I would like to check if using the 4 network cards binded to the same ip address would be able to utlilize 1000Mbps?
Or would just configuring 1 card be sufficient?
How is it done??
thanks

Did a traditional, JETless jump overnight, and had the same effect. So it's not JET.
