Hi there.
It works for me. 24 iMac 256vram, 2Gb, 500HD BUT If windows crashes, which games causes it a lot. Or if I restart directly from OS X, the display shows a lot of garbage. The first time I thought I've blown up my iMac or something like that. So to use windows, I turn off the computer, wait a bit.. (god I hate waiting for computers...) and then turn it on. I use windows for games and this computer is handling every one I throw at it beautifully. regards gorka |
