With the Mac Pro's anemic PCIe configuration (one 16x, two 4x, and one 1x), SLI wouldn't be terribly useful.

I got the bone stock 2.66 Quad and will be getting more memory in the near future (when available via 3rd party). The video card should be ok for quite some time but can easily be…

Hello, I wonder is there any place I can buy a 7"NuBus A/V card for my PowerMac 6100/60? Thank you

Well, subject pretty much says it all. Does anyone have experience with putting a Mac in a new case? I have a 7300 that I'd like to put into a big tower so that I can add more driv…
