Will it work with PCIe cards for PCs?

Now that the need to support OpenFirmware is gone, would I be able to retire my gaming PC by pulling its 7800GTX and putting it into a Mac Pro?

Now that the need to support OpenFirmware is gone
OpenFirmware may be gone. But EFI is the firmware used on Mac Pro's.
Both OpenFirmware and EFI need a compatible firmware on the video card held in the unit's own EEPROM.
In the PC World, it's usually referred to as a VGA BIOS. Although, it also controls some of the workings of the card and it's identification to the computer (usually).
The big thing is that the card's own firmware allows EFI/OpenFirmware to use the card to boot up. Without it, the card can't be used during boot, and probably not even after the drivers have initialized (if they even recognize the card).
Anyone trying the PC Cards should probably know this.
Unless it has a EFI compatible firmware code on the card, it simply won't work.
The only way it would is if Apple had an identical version of the PC Card, and it was possible (??!) to pull the firmware off the Apple card and flash it into the PC card.

  • HT201209 Gifting an app will not work with gift card?

    Ok. So I have plenty of money on my account.  But it will not let me gift an app with it? Why not.

    Because Apple doesn't allow it. They haven't said why.

  • Work with PCI-6052E and PCI-6601 simultaneously

    Hi, I'm working with PCI-6052 for bufered data output and PCI-6601 for read two encoders at same time, when I work with single board I don't have problems but when I work both simultaneously I have a problem only I can out data or only I can read the encoders but not both at the same time. How I make this?

    Hi,
    You probably have one task in LabView running in series after the other. Both of these tasks require a loop. Your buffered data output needs to be written in continuous fashion in a loop (I believe) and your encoder measurements are being read constantly as well (should be in a loop). Try experimenting with these two suggestions.
    I would copy both programs into 1 VI and keep them running completely separate. LabView will be able to assign each a different thread so they should be able to run completely in parallel. Therefore you would have 2 parallel loops that are not connected at all.
    You can also create two completely different VIs and run them in parallel. There is no reason why the two different programs would interfere.
    Hope that he
    lps. Have a good day.

  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 gigs ram,  will it work with Mercury playback Engine for accelerate

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 gigs ram,  will it work with adobe Mercury playback Engine for accelerated rendering for Premeire Pro cs6?

    I am a PC guy but, I have 6 work stations with CS6 but the wife wants a Mac so I am getting her an imac with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 gigs ram. Do you think this video card in the mac will still be able to utilize the Adobe CS6 MPE?
    It's not formally supported by Adobe for GPU acceleration; however judging from the fact that the lesser GTX-650M is (with 6.02 update), and the end-user ability to enable support for unsupported cards in Adobe apps, it should work.

  • I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

    I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
    Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

    1
    Close all iWork applications
    2
    Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
    3
    empty the trash
    4
    shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
    let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
    5
    Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install

    Get a Virtual Macine software program, Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install XP in a virtual machine.
    You can't install XP in a Boot Camp Partition with Lion or Mt Lion, only Win 7.

    I purchased Photoshop CS5 for my windows vista operating system. I purchased a canon 7 D some yrs ago no problem. I purchased canon 7D mk 11 in December 2014. The supplied software will not work with vista. Photoshop CS5 will not accept canon7D mk11. Can someone please tell me how i process canon 7D mk11 photos ?????. (is it possible to bypass camera raw and open the photo straight into CS5 without using camera raw first. if so how do i do that. if not how do i process pictures).
    Thank you.
    Brian in the UK.

    Photoshop by itself cannot process raw image data. That is why the Camera Raw plug-in was developed. You could try the DNG converter and convert your images to the DNG format and then the Camera Raw that you have would be able to open them. I can't recommend Lightroom because you are using Vista, and Lightroom 5 cannot be used with that operating system. It may be time for you to get a new computer and upgrade your software.

  • Good Morning, Are there any other donotfollow plug-ins or add ons for the version 4 of Firefox? The one available on your site will not work with version 4. Thank you.

    I am starting to affiliate market and need a donotfollow plug in or add on and the one available on your site will not work with version 4 of Firefox. Is there another place I can go or do you have another add on that will perform the same function as the do not follow you have on your site for the previous versions of Firefox? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    OK - to answer my own question, Apple recommend 8.2.1, but you can install 9.1.1 and it will run on a G3. Very slowly. Looks like this is the only option. Get it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1036. You need OSX 10.4.11 or later though....

    running IE 11 with registry hack for IE 9. I think the SL5 webbrowser control is set to work only in IE 7. can some one verify this or tell me how to set the WebBrowser control up to run either IE8, 9, 10 or 11? I have same issue with machines running IE 8
    and above. This Silverlight 5 application is running out of browser with the elevated privileges (hack) and at test certificates install in proper stores. This application has been running for 2.5 years. Vender switch on some changes a couple days ago that
    broke this application. Help!!

    Hi,
    It seems there is nothing to do with IE mode.
    Please make sure your link still can be accessed.
    The WebBrowser displays HTML content in applications running in a Silverlight 4 or later out-of-browser applications or in Silverlight 5 in-browser trusted applications only.

  • I-pod Hi Fi - will it work with a desktop Mac (6 months old) for DVD's etc

    Hi,
    I am a confused person trying to buy the right Xmas present. He has a video i-pod (one year old) and brand new shuffle for his stocking. However the old speakers on his 6 month old desktop (no idea what model) have blown so I was thinking of getting him the i-pod Hi Fi but will it work with his desktop too? Do I need to buy any other cables etc? If not, any recommendations as what would work well for both but not take up too much space?
    Thanks.
    i-pod Hi Fi    

    Just an additional information
    The connection will be as follows:-
    a) The iPod Video plug on the top of the iPod HiFi (docking)
    b) He can use his audio cable between his blowed old speakers and computer, for connection between his computer with the back of iPod HiFi (audio input)
    Then he can select between the playback of these two devices by press and holding the Menu button on the remote.
    Regarding the new shuffle, you can buy a mini-jack splitter and plug it on the back of the iPod HiFi (audio input), one connect to his computer and one with his shuffle, of course you can connect without this splitter, he can either use it for computer or shuffle.
    Note : iPod Hi-Fi has a digital/analog audio input port. You can use it to play music from an iPod that doesn’t have a dock connector or from other audio devices, such as a CD player, stereo receiver, or computer. If you have an AirPort Express Base Station, you can connect it to iPod Hi-Fi and play music from a computer in another room using AirTunes. You connect audio devices or an older iPod using an audio cable with a standard 3.5 mm stereo miniplug. For higher-quality sound, you can connect an optical digital audio device using an S/PDIF optical digital audio cable with a Mini-Toslink connector.
