Hello,
First time poster and new Ubuntu user here. I was given a Mac Pro 1,1 that was considered dead, but I was able to bring it back to life:D. So i decided to check out Ubuntu 14.04, removed Mac OS 10, and loaded it on the Mac Pro 1,1. I love it so far and now I would like to use it as a Home Theater unit for home, the kicker is that the video card is an ATI Radeon X1900XT 512MB with two DVI ports, I would love to upgrade the card to something with HDMI just to make life easier. My back-up plan is an DVI & audio to HDMI converter box that I found on Amazon (it converts the video and audio to the HDMI). Help?
Mac Pro Specs:
(2) 3GHz Dual Core Xeon
9GB RAM
ATI Radeon X1900XT 512MB Vid Card
Ubuntu 14.04
