He means an additional PCB section on the back side, to make the card a full 12 inches long. That makes it a full-length card, using the front slot stabilizers to hold it more steady. Shorter cards rely on the metal header plus the slot connector. If the new card came without an extension, then it probably doesn't need one. It's probably lighter.

Do a Google product search for mac pro gpu and you'll find your options. You can find cards under $200 on eBay.

The guy selling the XTX on ebay told me it's a PC card an not compatible with a Mac. Is he right?? NEW ATI RADEON X1900 XTX 512MB PCI-E 2X DVI VIDEO CARD - eBay (item 350261957638 end time Jan-04-10 13:49:13 PST) The one that came out of my Mac looks like this. See the red extension I was talking about? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ht_1116wt_1167

A card must have a firmware that supports Macs to be usable in a Mac. It's possible to reflash some PC cards into Mac versions, but it's a tricky procedure at best

Fudzilla - Gulftown Core i7 980X to start selling in March 130W for Core i7 980X. Apple only uses Xeons with that kind of TDP in single-CPU Mac Pros.

Official release is Q2, but with the i7 iMac so close to the single socket Mac Pro and Apple's low volume demands I think they'll push Intel for some early parts.

Use a DC voltmeter to check the motherboard battery voltage. It should be above 3 volts. It it registers low, replace it. If it reads OK, then you probably have a weak power supply.

I run four flat screens on my Mac Pro tradestation and cannot speak to running eight other than you may want to wait for the new Mac Pros to come out within the next few months. Skype me at EricTheOracle if you need to talk shop.

Check if the fan is running at decent speed on the 9600XT. I've had terrible experience with ATi fans, and eventually had to replace all of them.

Why? Unless you're running apps that absolutely won't work under Snow Leopard, there is no reason at all to do this.

Power Macs use Open Firmware - EFI is the Intel Mac firmware standard. That's quite an old Mac, and at this point GPU options are very limited. If you can find a card that works on the Mac side it will probably work on Linux.
