Hmmm... I hate to sort of bump this thread, but if anyone's still able and interested in helping out with that MSI card ROM, it would be highly appreciated. From my understanding after reading Rominator's post on the last side, it simply takes someone a little more tech-savy than me. I sort of understood the script to make an EFI-ROM, but editing the ROM furthermore (for RAM issues or whatever) is way beyond my horizon.
Even though the package provided by netkas makes the card work in OS X somehow, it's still a rather problematic solution. As I said before, I'm sure fan control doesn't work at all, even under heavy load the fan spins at a very low rate barely audible, so I'm constantly waiting for overheat symptoms. In Windows the card overheats fast in games if I reduce the fan speed manually, so I'm quite sure things are not right in OS X.
Second problem is lack of sleep support, which is really annoying. If the Mac falls asleep and I wake it up again, it simply restarts! As you can imagine, this is rather annoying, no way I can leave the computer alone for a while without saving all my stuff, or better, shutting it down.
Last but not least, keeping both the ATI and the old 7300GT in the Mac is still no option, either things in Windows don't work anymore (as soon as I install the nVidia drivers, the ATI won't work as main VGA anymore... I blame nVidia for that), or OS X gives me trouble with showing me an extended desktop even though no 2nd display exists... however, my main concern is heat and lack of sleep in OS X.
Here's the original MSI ROM again, if anyone's willing to try. I'm sure Stratoukos would appreciate the help too, I assume he'll run into the same problems I did.

if you could take a couple of pics that would be a really great help.
