hi there , i was trying to remove the graphics card from my power mac, its an nvidia geforce 7800GT 256mb, and the mac is a dual 2.3 powerpc g5, late 2005 version. I uncrewed the screw on the right side like you say but it doesn't want to pull out it seems stuck fast . in the apple service source manual it says there is also a clip holding it in place which should be unclipped but i see no clip there, just the screw on the right.
Do you know where I can get the ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card drivers or kexts? It's an original graphics card, but it's stuck at 800x600 and thinks it is a 9700.
@PowerbookMedic i was wanting to get one of these for christmas and i was wondering can you upgrade this computers processor and if you can upgrade the motherboard
Is the Graphics card attatched to the logic board?

@MacKiiD420 - You can upgrade the processor only between the same family / model # units. You can't upgrade the mobo.
