FWIW, I've tried restoring from both cloned drives and Time Machine images. Both have worked equally well. The main differentiator is that the cloned drive is much faster to get back up and running if you have a lot of data. Plus, I think there's a certain peace of mind that comes with the...

It's open to anyone that wants it for free, but that doesn't mean you don't have to agree to their terms. I'd fall out of my chair if they didn't all of a sudden require people to sign in to download.

Score! I'm going to get this onto my MacBook Pro ASAP! I need to give iCloud Drive a serious test drive.

+1 for Microcenter

... and they STILL can't use all that real estate to include a dedicated number pad? :-P

Unlike the previous generation of HP Microservers, the Gen8's use Celeron/Pentium processors. They appear to use a Matrox G200 graphics card (which I think I've seen someone on here using). Any reason why these wouldn't work? I don't know much about the chipset, but it's designed for Xeon's...

I already bought one for $70. A GTX 650 or GTX 650 Ti won't work because neither have DislpayPort. The next option is a 650 Ti Boost for $150 or so. The GT 640 is all I need if I can get it to work.

Well Dell's website claims it's PCI Express 3.0 x16 so it must be a Kepler card. that's a relief. Still doesn't solve my problems, though. :-S I'll just have to keep playing with it. It sent my dock icons into an irrepairable psychodelic rage the last time I tried to use it, but at least I...

The specs don't mention which specific chipset. It appears that the very first GT 640's were Fermi, but they've been Kepler ever since. I'll ahve to figure out which one this is. Fermi's make me nervous because of the freezing issues of the past.

These are all workstation-class cards. I'm not sure what their compatibility is with OS X, but most people use deskto- class cards.

What's the situation with the GT 640? I don't see it on the specs pics. I have one I'm trying to integrate so I'm curious. thanks.

It's also a viable case for a home or small business file server, though I prefer the Lian Li PC-Q25B for that purpose. This thing is SO much less ugly than the Prodigy. I would actually consider owning one.

Those are always fun pictures. :-)

It's the Dell 1GB NVidia GT640 OEM as mentioned in the thread's title. I'm currently using HD 4000 on board. I actually attempted the above steps, but was unsuccessful. I very varying degrees of failure from kernel panic to getting through the login page and immediately freezing at the...

Most aftermarket coolers of a decent size have a sort of plate that mounts on the backside of the motherboard. The cooler then mounts through the motherboard onto the back plate. It sort of sandwiches the processor.

Good news: The card arrived, and it's as advertised. Bad news: i can't seem to get it to work! :-P What's the procedure for getting a Kepler card working in Mountain Lion if you're moving from HD 4000 on Z77 board?

Yup! That's all it takes.

It seems I may have misspoken regarding the cooler. My FT03 mini can use a liquid cooler so I figured the full-sized one could, too. However, it looks like the full-sized FT03 has the PSU right where the liquid cooler would mount. However, I'm seeing lots of people mounting air coolers online...

I have a GT 640 arriving in the next several days. I might just have to give this a shot.
