I want to purchase the ATI card for my new macpro. Do I have to buy the upgrade kit from Apple? That card has a displayport and not 2 dvi......Plus the shipping is 5-7 weeks out. When I search newegg

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048%20106792627%201067940678&name=Radeon%20HD%204870&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-NA-_-NA-_-NA

I'm unclear if any of these will work.

Also, where is the best place to get more ram?

Thanks.

None of those will work. If you just bought a mac pro, why didn't you get the 4870 as BTO option? If you're talking about the old 2.8/3.0/3.2, the yes you have to wait until the cards are actually sold.

Because I bought from macmall and didn't see a way to configure it.

It may be quicker to return and reorder with 4780 BTO option (and cheaper). But also more hassle... 😕
