![]() ![]() And were running 10.6.4 with all current Apple (AAPL) updates installed. We tried both 1,1 and 2,1 machines with most up to date boot ROM and SMC versions. Despite using a boot drive from a Mac Pro 2010 model, we still could not get the 5870 to work with a 2006-2007 machines.UPDATE 8/27/10 Well, a bit clarification on certain issues and reiteration of others…here’s what we discovered after additonal testing (and yes, some of your feedback): So there you have it…what cards you can add to your existing Mac Pro…what cables you use for a higher quality display…and more display space overall. Speaking of adapters…you are familiar with the NewerTech USB to DVI/HDMI/VGA to Video Display Adapter? You know, the one that lets you add up to four additional monitors to your Mac? A very cool gadget that’s bus powered so its ideal for mobile presentation use as well. And that’s a good thing as they offer thicker cabling and better shielding for the highest quality, interference-free display output. We have also confirmed that all NewerTech Mini DVI and MiniDisplay Port video adapter cables are compatible with all Mac Pro models. Adding a third display will override the DVI connection, causing it to deactivate. ![]() So, you can have two displays with MiniDisplay connections, or one with a DVI connection and one with a MiniDisplay connection. Both the 58 cards work with both the DVI and MiniDisplay Port connections in any combination of two displays.The 5770 is compatible, but only with the DVI connection.Sorry to say it, but the 5870 is not…repeat… NOT compatible.So we dove in deeper to give all inquiring minds a full blown investigation you have come to expect from us. When first asked about this, we referred to the Apple display page that conspicuously left out any model except 2009-2010 Mac Prosįanning the flames of desire for more knowledge/information on this subject was Rob-ART at BareFeats who did confirm a day or so ago that the Radeon 5870 does work with 2008-2010 Mac Pros. Well done.Our blog has been buzzin’ with questions as to whether or not the new Radeon 58 video cards found in the new Mid 2010 Mac Pros work with earlier model year Mac Pros. As it is, for Mac users who also use a Windows Phone 7 device, this is a must-have free app. We didn't test Windows Phone 7 Connector with any Windows Phone 8 devices, but it's a solid bet that Microsoft will issue an update to this software quickly. While what Windows Phone 7 Connector does is pretty simple in theory, being able to sync your Mac and Windows Phone 7 device so simply is really nice. You can even download Windows Phone 7 operating system updates on your Mac and use Windows Phone 7 Connector to sync them. Select the files you want to sync (pretty much any non-DRM media file) and click the Sync button. The Windows Phone 7 Connector interface is really simple to use and will feel remarkably familiar to any iTunes user. Windows Phone 7 Connector installs quickly and has a nice interface that shows your media files by category, as well as giving a schematic of the connected Windows Phone 7 device's capacity and disk usage. Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 Connector is a slick app that syncs media files between your Mac and your Windows Phone 7 device or Zune. ![]()
