absolutly,almost any of the new graphics cards are mac compatable

1) What does the graphics card use for cooling? Passive or Fan?If it is passive, and has no fan mounted to it, it is cooled with just a Heatsink attached to the GPU, (Graphics Processing Unit), and uses case cooling to cool it.A) Heatsink; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_sinkThe heatsink style used for a graphics card, does not stand as tall as a Heatsink used for a Processor.B) GPU; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPUIf the Heatsink, and rest of the graphics card are covered in dust, etc, the GPU will overheat, and the graphics card will shut down.2) Observe the age of the graphics card.I just had an ATI Radeon X600X graphics card go out on me. It is at least 8 years old.ATI made the GPU. The Radeon X600.(It's AMD ATI now)The Radeon X600 chipset is part of the Radeon R300 chipset series. (And also uses a PCI Express x16 connector),http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_ATI_Graphics_Processing_Units#PCIe_.28X3xx.2C_X5xx.2C_X6xx.2C_X10xxActual exact code name of the GPU on your graphics card, is either the RV370, or RV380.Looking at the chart, and using what graphics card you have, you can determine what chipset it is.{ I'm also running a 22 inch wide screen monitor, and a 26 inch LCD HDTV for a monitor.Dual monitors. Maybe that pushed the GPU over the edge }For additional questions post in a Comment.Regards,joecoolvette

The Deadlock Bug Finally Solved

I had the same problem for a year or so. I used vista in the meanwhile, but after a 3D bug I got upset and decided to try fix this bug, finally succeded in it. I'm sure it has something to do with the memory, but still there's a mistery........

The solution :
It can be a little wierd, the softwares i used are : ASO - Advanced System Optimizer 2.2 and Mobility Modder 1.0 Final.

Step 1 (ASO) : In the windows optimizer at the
System Performance #2 I turned on the :
Improve Core Kernael Performance
Enable Large System Cache
(I made the cache size 1,024 - not sure if this was necessary)
Theese options were to force the system to write the swap on memory instead of your HDD

Step 2 (Mobility modder) : First download a new Catalist Driver from anywhere on the net, then the modder from :

http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1052/Mobility_Modder_1.0_Final.html

This software is quite handy because you can use the latest catalyst on your mobility radeon.
After The modding I've set the Graphics memory on 128MB -from (it was 256 earlier) -

The only thing left for you now is to install the newly modded catalyst and enyoy the advancements of your 3D card again.

PS
Not sure if step 1 is necessary, but my problem was solved after step 2, so my 3D card was back form the DeadLock and Infinite loops, and finally running smoothly on XP again.

Btw I have a HP zd8000 with x600 mobility.

Yeah. Windows is a flawed operating system. It should be called a Un-Operating System, because of the errors in the code of the software and application layers.Try Linux, 99% of the time, it works properly all the time.

Here's a few,

(Also check out the other videos to the right)


[ GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit. The ATI Radeon X600 series uses an ATI Radeon R300 GPU,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_R300 ]

If you are replacing using more than just a Fan, such as using a GPU cooler that also has a Heatsink attached, do not forget to Thoroughly clean the top of the GPU's case, and Properly apply fresh, new Thermal Paste.

If you have Any questions regarding installing an aftermarket fan, or GPU cooler, please post in a Comment.
We'll step by step through it by posting back, and forth.

AMD's DirectX 9 ATI Radeon graphics accelerators are not officially supported under Windows 7. But you can install ATI Catalyst Windows Vista graphics driver under Windows 7. Some features may not be available under windows 7 but it would be worth a try.

Try hitting F2 when computer starts. You will get into bios. There will be somethig like "VGA palette snooping". You must enable that.

reinstal the driver if you have(latest) if not download from here http://www.radarsync.com/

Try restarting the pc in safe mode by tapping the F8 key while re-booting the computer. If the lines are gone it is the display driver.

You can get the correct drivers HERE from HP for your Laptop

Display problems support HERE
