MacPro1,1 Graphic Card for ML - GT 640?

[BillyBooBob]

Well, it looks like the only thing really holding me back from getting Mountain Lion to run on this thing is the graphic card... I assume that the GeForce GT 640 will be enough, since it's listed on the CustoMac build page. My current card has one power cable running to it, but from what I can see on any images of the GT 640, it looks like it doesn't even have a secondary power plug, but even if it does, I doubt it would be more than one (6-pin).

Anyone see any reason why this card (along with the other tricks) wouldn't work for me getting ML to install?

Have you got this working? I am considering the same for a Mac Pro 1,1.

I got a GT450 running nicely on my 1,1

Sorry for the long delay... No, I haven't gotten one yet, but I'm about to (tax return)... Niggly says he got a 450 working fine on a 1,1. I need two dual-link DVIs, so that points me up towards certain cards I guess... Just gotta price shop for a best deal now.
