Just an idea!

Im thinking of getting the MacPro 2.66 with the ATI Radeon X1900 XT grafx card. But i was thinking that the Ati was released in 2006 so it might not be a good idea get it now, should be kinda “old” by now. So whould it be better if i purchase the MacPro with the cheaper NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT it comes with, and then, sometime later, if im not satisfied, i can spend about 250$ to get a replacement (those 250$ would be the price to pay for the ATI now). I take it that, a replacement card at that later time costing 250$, surelly would be better than the ATI Radeon X1900 XT that comes out now!
1. Please tell me what you think about this idea of mine and also...
2. Is this possible with MacPros? To get a grafx card from the market and just plug it in? Are there any matters of cooperation/conflicts with the MacPro?
 
Well you have to remember computers and parts are constantly being updated. Change & updates has been the story of the computer/computer parts story.

You have to honestly ask your self what you want this Mac (computer) to do for you!

If you want to upgrade a Mac for yourself you should be aware of the web sites Accelerate Your Macintosh (and their excellent database lasso) and Bare Feats.
 
Im planning to use the following apps, Adobe CS2, AfterEffects, FinalCut, Premiere Pro is the Ati a lot for these? Is it less worth? Is the Nvidia ok?

Click to expand...

CS2 is going to be slow, because it's under Rosetta. Not sure about After Effects
 
Ok thanx for your replyes but is the Nvidia enough for those apps or must i need the Ati?
Also regarding Premiere i will be working it in WINxp.
Will the Ati when used in XP have any problems due to the EFI presence?
