I already have the 4870 installed in a new MacPro I just bought a 2600XT to add two dvi connections.
I have the machine opened up right now. The 4870 takes up the bottom double slot. Can I leave a space open right above the 4870 and install the new video card 2 spaces up, to leave air space??
I believe it is a 4x slot. I have never done a video card in a Mac before. Is there a special way to install it? It looks like there is a rod that is used to hold the one side of the card and then you push it in the PCI slot, correct??
thanks,
Mike
