UPDATE: I would highly suggest using netkas’ new universal ATI/NVIDIA injector.
- Obtain a card that uses one or two 6pin PCI-Express connectors for power.
- Step 2: obtain two ATI mac PCI express power adapters ($30) or make your own for $10.
Install this version of NVkush if you have a 512MB card. if it’s some other size, you may have luck by using diabolik’s NVkush plister. I only had to mess with nvkush in order to make this work, no other kexts required editing in 10.5.6.- rename AppleTyMCEDriver.kext to AppleTyMCEDriver.disabled
- rename AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext to AppleUpstreamUserClient.disabled
- boot with the display connected to your old 7300GT.
If NVkush has done its thing, your screen on your 7300GT might be rotated 90 degrees. this is ok.[fixed in 10.5.7] - switch display to 9800GTX+
if you have a “hole” covering the top left portion of the screen that you cannot see, switch display back to 7300GT, wait to see your desktop background, and switch back.[fixed in 10.5.7]- Check system profiler for quartz extreme and core image support.
- ENJOY!!!
