When I try and run the installer, I get this error.

Unsupported System
"This computer will not support GeForce or Quadro Mac OS X edition cards."
What exactly would be causing this and is there anything I can do to fix it?

Make this:
1. Copy installer package from dmg to your desktop.
2. Right-click -- Show Package contents
3. Go to Contents folder and open Distribution.dist file in TextEdit
4. Find text "var found_hardware = 0;" (without quotes). I'ts at 20-th row
5. Change 0 to 1.
6. Save file and try to install.

This news has arrived just in time for me to return my GT-640 and revert to the GT-430 that is sitting on my shelf! Now we just need to get the airplay mirroring/discrete graphics thing figured out and I have everything I wanted!

Your system definition must be MacPro3,1, 4,1 or 5,1 to install this driver

I used MultiBeast and changed the system definition to MacPro5,1 but that made it kernel panic. Is there anything else I should to if I change the system definition?

Before using 4,1 or 5,1 you need to remove the AppleTyMCEDriver.kext in System-> Library-> Extensions (its for EEC memory), then those definitions should work. They conflict with that kext. Hope that helps.
