I will be getting a Mac Pro and I'm trying to set up a triple display system.
Question 1 I have decided to get the X1900 XT to run two of the three displays and to get the most out of Motion. Should I get the X1900 via the BTO option or is it better to buy it as an after-market add on. I ask this because I have see a few posts from some who are getting a Mac Pro with the 7300 GT and adding an after market X1900 and I was wondering why. Question 2 Can I transplant my old ATI Radeon 7000 PCI graphics card into a Mac Pro to use with the third display? Thanks! Dual-800 G4 Quicksilver. - Yeah, I said it, Geeee-Fooour!!

Thanks for the info dmegatool.
OK, so will it be cheaper to get the x1900 BTO and buy an after-market 7300 (or comparable) pci-e card or cheaper to leave the stock 7300 in the new Mac Pro and get an after-market x1900? Also, how much did you pay for your x1900? Thanks again... Dual-800 G4 Quicksilver. - Yeah, I said it, Geeee-Fooour!! Mac Pro Octo-2.8GHz Yippeeeeeeee! |

The price is the same if you buy the cards from apple or if you BTO.
The x1900 if 400$ and the 7300gt is 150$. It's up to you to see if you can find a better deal. Maybe you could look on ebay. There is probably people in the same situation than me. I have a 7300gt to sell but I'm waiting if my friend want it before to put it on ebay. If you didn't ordered around the 23rd, maybe I could sell it to you !
