Will Most Windows Peripherals work with the MAC Pro?

Im considering getting a MAC Pro... Unfortunately, I just invested on 2 PCI-E graphics cards (256 MB each)... will they work with the MAC Pro? Will apple sell me a MAC Pro with little options?

Only PCIe cards with EFI type BIOS, so no. They will work in Windows just fine, just not in OS X.
The stock configuration is fine and probably ideal anyway with the Nvidia 7300 GT, though most would recommend Radeon X1900 XT
There is only one 16x lane slot.
you might want to wait until Apple 'refreshes' the one year old Mac Pro line, either in the fall or wait until January MacWorld SF show. (eventually AMDs and Nvidia's latest offerings due later this year have a 99.999% chance of being adopted in some form).

  • Will this hard drive work with my Mac Pro?

    Just looking for confirmation that this hard drive will work with my Mac Pro:
    http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/HardDrives/SATA+%28Serial+ATA%29/500GB+to+1TB/Samsung+HD103SJ+SpinPoint+F3+1TB+SATA- II+3.5%22+Hard+Drive?productId=37726&page=4&rqcType=q
    Thanks

    Hi Fred,
    usually any 3.5" form-factor SATA-connected harddisk works in a Mac Pro.
    So I don't see any reason for this harddisk not to work.

  • What monitor best works with the MAC Pro

    I'm thinking of buying a MAC PRO. What Monitor best works with a MAC Pro?

    Whatever Monitor you like, exclusively. There are adapters available for everything.
    Analog VGA is not a good idea. It's a Digital world. But it can be done if you want.
    A TV set is not a Monitor. TV sets are for moving pictures, and may do badly with stable pictures, fine lines, parallel lines, smooth-edged text, and adjacent patches of bright colors.
    Wider than 1920 needs special attention to details.

  • Would these Viewsonic Monitors work with the Mac Mini?

    Hi,
    I ordered the latest mac mini and I need to order a monitor...Due to my budget constrainsts I cannot order a Dell Ultrasharp, so I'm looking at a viewsonic...
    .I want to do some webdesign on it, so I don't need a lot of color accuracy  ....But would this work with the Mac mini?
    ViewSonic VX2363smhl-w 23-Inch SuperClear IPS LED Monitor  1920x1080
    do I need to buy any type of cable?   the conectors it has are
    15-pin mini D-sub (VGA) / HDMI (x1) , HDMI/MHL (x1)

    Those monitor's will work fine.
    One will connect to the Mac Mini's HDMI output port using the supplied HDMI cable.
    For the other you will need either a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter or better yet a Mini Display Port to HDMI adapter.

    http://store.apple.com/us/product/HFQL2VC/A/moshi-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adapt er-4k
    Either will work for the second monitor, but personally I would go with the (Digital) HDMI adapter instead of the (Analog) VGA adapter.

  • HT3669 What printer works with the Mac G5 10.5.8?

    I am looking fo r a printer that works with the Mac G5 10.5.8. I bought the Epson XP-410. Th Drive will not download, I recive the message tha tit is not supported by the archectecture.

    The problem is, Epson has not indicated if they made their 10.5 or 10.4 drivers PowerPC compatible.
    Apple transitioned to Intel with 10.4.4, but allowed PowerPC owners to use up to 10.5.8.
    You should try to select either the 10.5 or 10.4 drivers from Epson, changing the 10.9 pulldown menu on the website. If neither work tell Epson they need to indicate if it is Intel Only on their website.
    I noticed the filename is the same for 10.5.8 or later:
    epson15207.dmg
    Since no PowerPC compatibility exists in 10.6.8 or later, it suggests that driver is only for Intel.  Only the 10.4 drivers are different, so you should try them in this file:
    epson15458.dmg

  • When I access a windows files server with the mac I am adding .apple (hidden files). How can I prevent this.

    When I access a windows files server with the mac I am adding .apple (hidden files). How can I prevent this?

    Look for a program called BlueHarvest. I'm not sure if it still works with Mountain Lion.
    I believe your file server can be set up to handle the metadata files, but I suppose that would depend on the Server software and your IT staff.

  • Will a USB SuperDrive work with my Mac Book Pro?

    Will a USB Superdrive work with my mac booc pro?

    lorifromgermany,
    if you have a non-Retina MacBook Pro, the following command could allow a USB SuperDrive to work with it.
    Log in as an administrative user, open Terminal, run the following command within Terminal, close Terminal, and then restart your MacBook Pro:
    sudo nvram boot-args="mbasd=1"
    (When it asks you for a password, enter the administrative user’s password.)

  • Does The Apple USB Modem Work With The Mac mini ??????

    Just wanted to know if anyone has successfully used the new Apple USB Modem with the Mac mini, is it compatable ????
    Thank you for your input on this.
    Mike D.

    It says it works with the Mac mini, but does it really? I just received my modem yesterday and could not get it to work with my 1.42 mini - the more expensive one that comes without a dialup modem! I looked carefully at the specs and it appears the Apple USB modem requires Mac OS 10.4.3, not the 10.4.2 that comes with the Mac mini.
    Talk about stupid! And the mini docs say it comes with the "latest" version of Tiger. Not! So I can download the upgrade, I guess. IF I could get on the internet! This is extremely annoying. I guess I'll have to download the upgrade on another computer and transfer it somehow. Boy, those Apple guys sure are tech geniuses, aren't they???

    Office 2001 will not work with Lion. That is a Power PC App which is no longer supprted in Lion. You should upgrade to Office 2011, Apple iWork, or Open Office.

  • Will weblogic 4.5 work with the Sun Java Servlet Development Kit Version 2.1?

              Will weblogic 4.5 work with the Sun Java Servlet Development Kit Version 2.1
              (JSDK 2.1). The reason I want this is we want our application servlets to
              use the new 2.1 redirection mechanism to redirect to JSP files.
              

    WL 4.5 supports JSP 1.0 (and, therefore Servlet 2.1).
              What I want to know is when will it support JSP 1.1 (and, therefore Servlet
              2.2)!

  • Is the Apple Mac Pro RAID card (v 2.0) compatible with the Mac Pro (v. 1.1)?

    Hello,
    Just wondering if any of you experts know if the Apple Mac Pro RAID card (v 2.0) is functional with the Mac Pro (v 1.1)?
    I have an original Mac Pro and a new (black) Mac Pro RAID card. I would like to know if I can get any functionality.
    I initially thought that the only difference was that the later RAID card did not have the same limitations on the HDs. I am aware that my original Mac Pro has a SATA II bus rather than a SATA III bus- but I am hoping this will not present any issues other than speed.
    I am currently using Disk Utility for a striped software RAID (0) but would like to move to a parity hardware RAID (5); hence the purchase. If this isn't possible I'm not overly concerned as I managed to get hold of the RAID card for next to nothing so thought I would take the chance.
    Any feedback would be appreciated as everything I've dug up online over the past few days has been a little inconclusive.
    Julius.

    The black-substrate card requires a 2009 or later model, and works only in slot 4, which has a special connector for it there.
    The blue-substrate card requires the ipass cable and connector feature in the 2008 and older models.
    These cards are both showing their age, and limit drive size to 2.2TB each. Their data-backup batteries have been extremely troublesome. You should probably look at other alternatives as well.

    No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
    Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

  • Will adobe after affects work with final cut pro x

    Will adobe after affects work with final cut pro x?

    You can't work with the files natively, if that's what you mean - you can't drop a .aep file into FCP X, or vice-versa.  You can do this to some extent using Premiere Pro and After Effects, but only if you get them together in the Production Premium collection.
    Like Tom said, though, you can prep stuff in either direction and work with both applications without a problem.
