Quadro FX4500 EFI64 ROM

[javinv]

Hi,



I've a brand new macpro5,1 and I would like to use in it my old macpro1,1's quadro fx4500 (efi32) card... I have been reading posts everywhere for days, and testing the roms that I've found with no luck.

Is there any chance that I could flash an efi64 rom on my quadro fx4500?, the rom size seems big enough for it since the actual one is 128kb.

If there is no EFI64 ROM, it's possible to install some kind of efi hackint0sh software to boot my new macpro from it , like chameleon or something.. Or is it impossible to make it work? Right now i'm booting directly onto windows through bootcamp and my system is working great.

Thank you,

Javi

I am pretty sure there is no efi 64 bit rom for the quadro 4500 as it is a relatively old card now. Chameleon does not work on a mac pro. You are going to have to get another card I am afraid with a 64 bit bios.

I think that you could try to flash it with PC ROM, install ATY_Init from Netkas and use your new MP's EFI 64 card as helper card for FX4500. It's just a guess... but theoretically possible.
