MacPro Graphics Card

    I do some Mac admin for a small Mac Network in Dublin. They have a MacPro acting as a fileserver with an Apple Cinema Display attached. Recently the display stopped working and from what I can see the graphics card has kicked the bucket. I want to replace the card with something similar to whats in it but as the machine is old enough (Its a MacPro 3,1 2.8Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon) I don't want to spend a whole lot of money. The card is an ATi Radeon HD 2600 XT (PCiE) with 256 Ram. Can someone point me in the right direction to something equivalent that'll work...???

    Thanks a mill

    I have an Nvidia GeForce GT 120 512 MB taken from my Mac Pro 4.1. You can have it for 50 euro if you collect (Terenure).

    Sorry Rats, but the card has found a home elsewhere.

    You could try http://www.scrumpymacs.co.uk. They break old Macs and often have refurbished graphics cards for sale.
