The Ultimate and Definitive Hackintosh Hardware Selection Guide....

Panopticon Check out this 8600Gt card with dual DVI Cheaper card

I had, previously:
  • Outdated {it is a close-out}
  • only 256MB
  • It's NOT PCI-e 2.0 compliant
  • Has only FAIR user reviews on the internets.
  • Noisy, no fan control.
  • Depends on getting a $25 Rebate from PNY!
Why would you hobble a Quad Core {Q9550 or i5/i7} with an aged GPU? To save $10 or $15??

NO Rebate cards-

$39.99 shipped free: SPARKLE SXG210512D2-NM GeForce 210 512MB 64-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6814187093
{Fan cooled, reportedly silent.}

$44.99 shipped free: SPARKLE SFPX94GT1024U2 GeForce 9400 GT 1GB 128-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6814187037
{I have the 512MB version of this one, no fan; runs cool & silent.}

If you search newegg, you can find 2x0 & 9x00 series cards even less with rebates.
