This card is on the HCL as follows:

I have downloaded osx86 tools, and I have tried everything. I've enabled quartz GL, tried installing nVidia kexts, but no matter what I do I can't get quartz extreme enabled, even though the HCL says it is fully supported. Could someone please tell me how I can get it working? It shows up as not supported in system profiler. Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the reply, but I've tried that and it hasn't worked. In case it matters, I have the Sparkle nVidia 7300GT 256mb. I've been looking for a long time now, and still nothing. Any ideas? Thanks again.

I think you may find your answer here: nvinject.fr ee.fr/

Lots of help for nVidia cards there.
