Very true ut it's such a great machine with the excellent drive bays etc. Still works great and has lots of RAM. Just wondering about those questions for the rare times I need to see a boot screen. Unless there is an external card that does the same

I bought the following card a while back so I could upgrade my tower to Mojave. Works well except for one thing which is the boot screen is not visible. I was wondering if I could add the older card as a second video card, just for booting, then disconnect the monitor when not in use. Would it...

A relative gave it to my brother who gave it to me. the relative lives overseas :)

Not really possible

No it was a gift but I'll try that.

Me too.

Ok thank you. My biggest issue is how hard it is to screw in the lCD screws when done. Oy :)
