I see, well i probably could find the drivers/kexts if someone could help me,

is there a program that scans your hardware and tells you what your options are?
then again that sounds too n00b friendly (may not exist)

Thanks

Any idea where i may find a good workable driver? Thanks
Though the ram issue for me is nothing much, as i will just run boot camp and install a windows 7 build

Is there any possible way for me to get my rig running without the video card, if not its going to be a while before i can dish out some cash for it lol. I thank you anyway.
