Alright, so I've heard that this card doesn't exactly work... well im buying a new computer and guess what? thats the card (-_-). So im just wondering, can you make this work using an EFI String? Is there anything I can do to get full res? (1900x12something) I would REALLY appreciate any answers on this... the computer is a Dell Inpsiron 545... its a beutiful computer and I hope I can get a flawless OS X system out of it... Like my (almost) current HacPro, Which will turn into my HacMini if I can get it running .

EDIT

well i found this, http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=10… ↗

but its kinda hopeless seeing as the only available info is the Device ID and thats not even there... and it hasnt been updated since... last year i think...

EDIT

Device ID: 0x95c4
Now what do I do with it lol?

EDIT

I FOUND IT! full res! http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/… ↗

now the only problem is getting QE/CI/R... I would be freaking happy to have that working! but finding this just made my day!
