Re: ixMicro video card & OSX

[David Ensteness]

I am aware of that. But the answer to the poster's question then is 
still yes and not no. Also the cards Still do give the system more 
video RAM do deal with than the onboard does so while the performance 
increase maybe so minimal you can't see it or care about it, it seems 
that it would still do better with the greater RAM.

ixMicro cards are supported by OS X in that they will deliver video 
but there is no hardware video acceleration so the CPU has to run the 
entire UI by itself.  It is the hardware video acceleration drivers 
which are absent in OS X.  These cards are useable but no faster than 
the built in video of the 7300-9600s or Rev A Beiges.

Why not? ixMicro cards are supported by Mac OS X v.10.2.x. Is it an 
XPF thing?
