Here is another list of graphics cards supported by Snow Leopard (10.6.x) but not OpenCL capable. There is also a Radeon HD 3870 Mac & PC Edition that works in early Mac Pros. The Radeon HD 5870 card requires Mac OS X 10.6.4 so it may not work with the retail DVD. See ' About graphics-card compatibility between Mac Pro models'. But with the release of Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), Apple has finally decided to subtly step up its fight against malware, much as it has done in the past with antiphishing features in Safari. I do not think the DVD sold today is of a never version.Īpple has a list of video cards that came with the original Mac Pros. I believe the retail DVD came in version 10.6.3. When caches, logs, system junks accumulate, they will slow down your Mac and waste the precious disk space. Naturally you can upgrade the card once you have updated your macOS to 10.6.8 or a later macOS version. EaseUS CleanGenius is highly recommended from the start because it is free.

If you are starting off with a PC and a Snow Leopard retail DVD then you need a graphics card that works out of the box. Mac OS X Snow Leopard is the newest Mac operating system, with even better performance and more efficient use of hard drive space as well as cool features. I'm not too bothererd if it's from either Nvidia or ATI/AMD, I just need to know what is the easiest card to work with on Snow Leopard. I just need some info straight out of the horse's mouth, if you know what I mean. Does the card I need to use need to be period correct to Snow Leopard, or can I use even slightly newer cards? I need something that works OOB and isn't too expensive used. I know there's plenty of posts already listing some graphics cards, and I've done more research outside of tonymacx86 for possible cards to use but I'm still pretty stuck for choices. I've decided I'm buying used, as I guessed I don't really have a choice for 10.6. I've got everything I need (including a dead B&W G3 I'll be using as the case), however I'm stuck for graphics cards for Snow Leopard. I've never done a Hackintosh install myself, so I need the easiest route to Snow Leopard possible. I been wanting to dip my toes in the world that is the Hackintosh for a while. Hi, this is my first thread on this forum, so go easy on me Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide Recovery Mode in Mac is a heap of beneficial tools and the best way to erase and start reinstalling from starch.
