IMPORTANT: I, take no responsibility of ruining your card while flashing, which is very unlikely in DOS but is possible. I only wrote this tutorial for learning purposes and you're taking your own chance with your card(s). The following worked for me and my setup! The flashing and config was done medio april 2010.

My setup:

Mac Pro 2.66 Quad Core (Early 2009), 20” Apple Cinema Display, 24" Apple Cinema Display, OS X 10.6.3
Sapphire ATI Radeon 4890 HD 1GB Vapor X display port/dvi/hdmi/vga
Mini Displayport (24" Apple Cinema Display) to Displayport (Sapphire 4890) Adapter Cable from Circuit Assembly
2 x powercables for the 4890 "G5 Graphic Power Cable" and can be found on Ebay or ATI.COM store.
I got mine here: 4890 Mac power cables

(PLEASE NOTE: Mac Pro motherboard has two connectors for powering graphic cards. These connectors are special and you will not find the right cable in a PC store. You cannot use the ones supplied with the ATI card, they only work for in a PC)

Here is what I did (all the files I used are in this zip file - approx. 3.5 mb):

0. Flashed my card in a PC with the help of this guide (you need a real PC and a USB key): unofficial-how-flash-ati-cards (all the files needed for this are In this zip file - approx. 3.5 mb) You can also read everything in this pdf file.

1. Ran Apple OS X 10.6.3 combo update again
2. Left combo update open, did not immediately restart.
3. Ran Zeus Flashing Tool (get it here)10.6.3 qu_ci patcher ( > Select card... ATI 4000 series > Select OS... 10.6.3 > Downloads driver > Installed it
4. Restarted mac pro.

5. Downloaded http://groths.org/dualdvi.zip
6. Installed the included 3 kext; ATI4800Controller.kext, ATIFramebuffer.kext and ATISupport.kext like this:
7. Open "Kext Helper b7" and drop the 3 kext files into the window, enter your admin password and click EASY INSTALL
8. Restarted mac pro.

And BADABIIIING, my 24" ACD gave me something to look at as well

The only thing which is presently NOT working is sleep. My screen goes bananas after sleep, but I’m working on that.
The error message after boot regarding power to your videocard is “normal” and you should’nt worry. Just click it away.

Thanks to Cindori (http://groths.org/), Netkas (http://netkas.org/) and all the other people who has written some of the "millions" of posts I have read about this.

Jeg var på jagt efter en god DLNA UPnP server til mit nye Samsung UE46B7050 LED TV, og søgte naturligvis internettet for de forskellige muligheder. Jeg prøvede forskellige, men valget faldt på disse to som er meget enkle at sætte op.

Elgato Eyeconnect

Super fint produkt, næsten ingen setup, blot en preference pane med to faner, som du ser herunder. Der styrer man det hele, og DLNA serveren, den Mac det kører på, synes med det samme på enten TV eller på Playstation 3 (som jeg bruger til DNLA, da det kører bedre/hurtigere og den sender lyd til anlægget)

Elgato EyeConnect

Pris: 49,95 USD



MediaLink

Samme som med Elgato, blot en preference pane med nogle faner, som du ser herunder. Der styrer man det hele, og DLNA serveren, den Mac det kører på, synes med det samme på enten TV eller på Playstation 3. Som dog giver lidt flere muligheder, som specielle iTunes playlister, Aperture support, iPhoto HD support koster 40% af hvad Elgato Eyeconnect koster.

Pris: 20,00 USD

nullriver MediaLink

Hvis det skal være lidt mere nørdet, så er der en oversigt her: How to choose a DLNA Media Server

Har også prøvet TwonkyMedia (mest brugte på NAS'er, også den der er i min NAS; en QNAP TS-239 Pro) men det kunne jeg ikke få til at virke, det er noget med config via http og nogle porte, og ikke rigtigt nogen GUI interface... det er sgu for besværligt.

Jeg tror jeg napper MediaLink til 20 USD, for at have muligheden for at afspille direkte fra Mac'en. Behøver så faktisk slet ikke min mini mere... :O(

I have a Mac Pro Quad Core (Early 2009) with the Quad-Core Intel Xeon Nehalem 3500 series processor. When I bought it Apple mentioned on their website that it would only support 2GB memory DIMMs. Some sites like OWC - Other World Computing proclaimed that the Quad Core would support up to 16GB memory using 4GB DIMMs. Recently Apple has changed its tech specs for the Quad Core to reflect that as well.

Kingston Technology has a series of System-Specific Memory and the Valueram Memory. I am going to test the Kingston Value Ram in my Mac Pro and get back with the results here on this site.

The Value Ram is about Dkr 900,- per 4GB DIMM and the System-Specific memory is around Dkr 3800,- per 4GB DIMM or about 65% cheaper.

Specs of the memory:

• KVR1066D3D4R7SK3/12G
  
• 12GB (3x4GB DIMMs)
• DDR3
• CL7
• PC-8500
• 1066 MHz
• Dual Rank
• ECC
• Thermal Sensor
