Apple to break 8800GT impasse
April 9th 2008
When Apple introduce the v2.0 Mac Pro in January, nVidia's 8800 GT was offered as a BTO option that requires a PCIe 2.0 slot to run. This is a driver issue that v1.0 Mac Pro owners have been waiting for someone to step up and provide.
Initially, nVidia said they'd take up the cudgel, but weeks turned to months and still no 8800 GT drivers for v1.0 Mac Pro owners.
Happily ever after?
On Monday, MacRumors published a quote purportedly from Steve Jobs:
nVidia didn't come through, so we're having to do it. Should be ready in about a month.
Steve
Though perhaps not the immediate jolt of joy v1.0 Mac Pro owners were hoping for, it's good to see El Jobs taking a positive personal interest in the affairs of the rest of us...
Upgradeable mini-tower, anyone?
Exclusive offer. Limited time only.
