Hi there,
I've just got an old 2008 24" iMac for £30, and I want to use it for some older-title gaming, web browsing and all the other stuff you do with an older iMac. My only problem is, it has the Radeon HD 2600 Pro which isnt all that great. I've been looking at images of the 2600 and I've tried to find some MXM HE cards that have the same connector layout as the 2600. I am aware that the heatsink compatibility needs to be taken into account, because the more RAM chips the more heatsinks surface area required yada yada yada.
Anyhow, I was thinking about the QuadroFX 770M, since I also want to use it for some lighter video/photo work, and a Quadro would fit my needs nicely. I dont really want to put in an 8800 GT because its destined to fail at one point and I dont have the money to throw around buying new graphics cards every living second.
Any help would be appreciated!
